Man treated for tuberculosis

*
Centre for Health Protection

The Centre for Health Protection has confirmed a one-way permit holder from the Mainland who came to Hong Kong in June has contracted multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. He is being treated in Kowloon Hospital and his condition is stable.

 

On the 29-year-old expatriate woman working in Hong Kong suspected to have tuberculosis who died in the UK in April, the centre said tests yielded negative results for tuberculosis. The result tallied with the test findings by Queen Mary Hospital earlier.
