The San Francisco Department of Public Health confirmed to KTVU on Friday that two confirmed active tuberculosis cases were associated with The Crazy Horse located at 980 Market St.<\/p>\n
“Once SFDPH was notified of a confirmed case in early October, a contact tracing effort led by the Department was initiated to identify additional cases and prevent further spread,” the health department said.<\/p>\n
What is TB?:<\/p>\n
Health officials said tuberculosis \u2013 or TB \u2013 is an infectious disease caused by bacteria that can be spread through the air when an infected person talks, speaks or breathes.<\/p>\n
Tuberculosis only becomes active in about 5-10% of people, but presents a higher risk for babies and the immunocompromised.<\/p>\n
The SFDPH added that risk to the public is currently low.<\/p>\n

Last November, a tuberculosis outbreak<\/a> at San Francisco\u2019s Archbishop Riordan High School affected 1 in 5 students and prompted months of testing for students and faculty to track the spread of the disease.<\/p>\n The Source: Information for this article came from the San Francisco Department of Public Health.<\/p>\n News<\/a>Health<\/a>San Francisco<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"article FILE-A doctor examines the x-rays of a tuberculosis patient at a TB clinic in Brooklyn, New York.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":506440,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[1184,1570,100,101,103,102,104,106,105,1181],"class_list":["post-506439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-ca","tag-health","tag-news","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news","tag-us"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=506439"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506439\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/506440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=506439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=506439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=506439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
