Active Tuberculosis at Whitefish Bay Middle School

Today we are receiving calls from parents with students at Whitefish Bay Middle School regarding tuberculosis.  The public health department sent home a letter stating that children at Whitefish Bay middle school may have been exposed to another student in 7th grade that has active tuberculosis (TB). 

The Shorewood / Whitefish Bay Health department has scheduled a TB skin test clinic for students of Whitefish Bay Middle school on Wednesday, June 8th and follow up reading on Friday, June 10th.  If your child attends Whitefish Bay Middle school, the pediatricians of Bayshore Pediatrics strongly recommend that your child is tested at the TB skin test clinic on Wednesday, June 8th.  Due to the way students move within the school, we recommend testing regardless of your child’s grade.  More »
