Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Health Department has been awarded additional funds from the Ohio Department of Health for the TB Control/Prevention Program grant for the period January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007. The TB Control/Prevention Program identifies persons with active TB disease to ensure that they complete an appropriate regimen of anti-TB medications; and identifies contacts to persons with active TB to ensure that they receive appropriate follow-up evaluation with treatment for identified disease or latent TB infection.
