ABC News: TB Patient's Relative to Be Investigated

ABC News: TB Patient's Relative to Be Investigated:

"A federal microbiologist, the father-in-law of the man quarantined with a
drug-resistant form of tuberculosis, will be investigated to see how he was
involved in the case, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said
Saturday.
Meanwhile, the CDC said it has withdrawn the federal isolation
order for TB patient Andrew Speaker because a Denver health agency's order to
detain him at a hospital there is sufficient to protect the public's health. The
action ends the first federal quarantine order since 1963."



Now to hunt down the source of the disease.
