Communicable Disease
Communicable Disease program provides information for the public and health care providers about the spread of contagious illnesses such as tuberculosis (TB).
Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by germs that are spread from person to person through the air. TB usually affects the lungs, but it can also affect other parts of the body, such as the brain, the kidneys, or the spine. A person with TB can die if they do not get treatment.
A goal of this program is preventing the spread of disease, and identifying disease threats. Services include providing information, testing, treatment, surveillance and referrals.
