8 February 2023 at 14:29 FHI: More confirmed cases of tuberculosis infection 6 people have been diagnosed with tuberculosis infection in Rogaland county. This is written by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (FHI) in a press release. FHI is now working with the municipal superintendent in the relevant municipality to investigate the find. – The Institute of Public Health considers that there is no risk of tuberculosis infection to the general population in this case, says senior doctor Karine Nordstand. Samples were taken of people after a cow that was slaughtered last November tested positive for bovine tuberculosis. The six who have tested positive are followed up locally in collaboration with the health service according to standard routines for tuberculosis infection. FHI emphasizes that being infected with tuberculosis does not mean that you are ill. Most people who are infected will never develop the disease. – People who are infected without being sick cannot infect others, says senior doctor Nordstrand.
