Libourne: a case of tuberculosis in a nursery school teacher. Some students from the Garderose school in Libourne who were in contact with this teacher could nevertheless have been infected by the Koch bacillus bacteria which is spread by air.
Screening is coordinated by the Bordeaux anti-tuberculosis center. Parents are urged to be particularly vigilant for symptoms that could indicate tuberculosis infection in their children. Unusual cough, night sweats, unexplained fatigue and weight loss should lead them to consult their doctor immediately.
