Vendor employee at Microsoft diagnosed with tuberculosis
A vendor at a Microsoft facility in Redmond was recently diagnosed with active tuberculosis (TB), according to officials with Public Health - Seattle & King County.
The person had contact with nearly 150 other vendor employees, officials said. Those employees must now undergo testing as a precaution to rule out any TB infection.
The vendor companies are reaching out to their affected employees to notify them about the testing. Public health officials have been on site this week to evaluate those employees and test those who were exposed.
TB is an infectious disease caused by bacteria that are passed from person to person through the air. Health officials said TB is not easily spread. It typically takes repeated and prolonged exposure in a confined indoor space to become infected.
