MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Hennepin Technical College officials say a
student on the school's Brooklyn Park campus has been diagnosed
with tuberculosis.

      The agency says the student has an active and infectious form of
the disease. TB can spread to people who have prolonged close
contact with someone who has the active and infectious form.

      Health officials are screening students, teachers and staff
workers who may have been exposed to TB, but so far nobody else has
been found to have the disease.

      The student who was diagnosed with TB has withdrawn from the
college.
