SAN DIEGO - The county's Tuberculosis Program is working with the Metropolitan Transit System to notify riders of the trolley's Blue Line that they were potentially exposed to and are at risk for tuberculosis.
-- The Blue line between San Ysidro Transit Center and Old Town Transit Center roughly between 5 and 7 a.m., and from Old Town to San Ysidro between 6 and 7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 16. "Symptoms of active TB include persistent cough, fever, night sweats and unexplained weight loss," Dr. Wilma Wooten, county public health officer, said in a statement.
According to the county, the chance of TB infection is highest for people with many hours of cumulative indoor exposure to a person who is sick with TB. Brief interactions with an ill rider are less likely to lead to TB infection than are prolonged or repeated exposures.
