An ongoing tuberculosis outbreak in two Kansas counties has sickened dozens since January 2024. Health officials are raising the alarm over a large and ongoing tuberculosis (TB) outbreak in Kansas.

Kansas is currently facing one the largest tuberculosis outbreaks in U.S. history with 67 confirmed active cases and 79 confirmed latent cases.

A tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas has killed two people and caused at least 146 to become infected with the potentially deadly respiratory disease during one of the largest outbreaks in the nation's history.

Common symptoms of active TB include coughing, chest pains, fever, fatigue and coughing up blood or phlegm. The airborne respiratory illness is usually transmitted during prolonged close contact with an infected person.

Kansas is experiencing record-high tuberculosis cases in two counties. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment and a TB expert weigh in on the public risk.

The outbreak poses “very low risk to the general public, including the surrounding counties,” the Kansas Department of Health and Environment said.

Johnson County, Kansas, firefighters responded to an early house fire that turned deadly Monday morning. Firefighters received a call around 4:50 a.m. about a house fire with a person still inside in the 33600 block of West 167th Street just outside of Gardner, Kansas.

Again, in this report the newspaper attempts to spin & downplay the public health threat . . .

More than 60 people were being treated in the Kansas City area as of Friday, according to the state health department.

The Kansas City metro area is experiencing the largest outbreak in U.S. history, with low risk to the general public, Kansas health officials say.

A yearlong outbreak of tuberculosis in the Kansas City, Kansas area has taken local experts aback, even if it does not appear to be the largest outbreak of the disease in U.S. history as a state health official claimed last week.
