SPRING VALLEY, Calif. - The county's Tuberculosis Control Program is working with Grossmont Union High School District to notify students, staff and volunteers potentially exposed to tuberculosis during the second semester of the 2023-24 school year at Mount Miguel High School .The school, at 8585 Blossom Lane in Spring Valley , had a potential risk for TB from Feb. 1 to June 4, 2024.
'Most people who become infected after exposure to tuberculosis do not get sick right away. This is called latent TB infection. Some who become infected with tuberculosis will become ill in the future, sometimes even years later if their latent TB infection is not treated. Blood tests and skin tests are effective in determining whether someone has been infected.'Taking medicines for latent TB infection can cure the infection and keep these people from ever getting active TB disease.
