Sixty-four people who visited the waiting room of the pulmonary diagnostics lab at Milwaukee's St. Luke's Medical Center may have been exposed to TB, hospital officials said Friday. Patients who were in the waiting room between November and mid-January have been sent certified letters requesting they get tested because a man who was in the waiting area and coughing in that time period was found to have TB. To date, six people have taken the initial skin test but it is too early to tell whether any were infected.
