Two buildings at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, were evacuated recently due to a possible exposure to tuberculosis, according to an article on the Reuters website.
A small amount of the tuberculosis bacteria may have been released while being transported between two of the hospital’s cancer research buildings, a Johns Hopkins spokeswoman said.
Employees who were in the area when the incident occurred have been isolated and will be evaluated by the Fire Department.
“So far, all indications are that no other individuals have been exposed; however, the buildings will remain evacuated until cleared by public safety officials,” the spokeswoman said.
