We usu; - find the case in the household Pierce said most of the inft ed children already havebt , started on preventative anti otic therapy in their \qKs School nurses will monitc five children to ensure they: their medication, he said. Also, their househc friends and other poss: sources have agreed tc checked for TB to learn source of the contagion, hes All are cooperating, he said. There had been no case tuberculosis found among ( dren in Amarillo schools 1994, Ms. Denison said. “We did change our sere ing program to be directed ward English-as-a-secondl guage students,” Pierce ss “Those are primarily studs from immigrant families, figured that would target h risk populations.” However, such a strati might offend targeted groups ■ some cities, said Isabel Vit nurse consultant for the St Bureau of Communicable 5 ease Control. “We recommend screening ' school-age children, but 1 * don’t require it,” she said.
