The Sauk County Health Department was recently informed of a possible case of tuberculosis in a Sauk County resident with ties to the Baraboo and Sauk Prairie school districts. According to a release, the presence of TB has not been confirmed, but the individual has agreed to stay in isolation and is undergoing treatment for TB. The Sauk County Health Department is working with the Wisconsin Division of Public Health, Baraboo School District and Sauk Prairie School District to assure that anyone who had been in close contact with the person is being contacted and offered testing if necessary. Officials say the risk to the general population is very low. TB disease is not easy to transmit to others; it requires prolonged and close contact with an infected person. Simply being in the same room does not mean you will be infected.
