A Nebraska health department is investigating more than 500 possible exposures to tuberculosis linked to an active case at a YMCA in Omaha. The infected person was part of the YMCA's drop-in child care program, so those at risk of exposure are primarily young kids.
Nationally, there were 8,300 tuberculosis cases in 2022 — an increase compared to the previous two years, but still lower than pre-pandemic levels. Just 28 of those cases were in Nebraska. Frederick said Douglas County identified 15 cases last year, and another 15 as of September of this year. The infected patient at the daycare developed a cough in August, he said, so health officials assume the person was infectious around that time.
