Michigan TB ( Multi Drug Resistant)

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Previously, Breitbart News reported that the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) confirmed that eighteen refugees have been diagnosed with active TB in the state of Michigan during the five years between FY 2011 and FY 2015. A nineteenth case of active TB among refugees was reported in March 2016 by the Oakland County Health Department.

In response to a FOIA request from Breitbart News, MDHHS said that no refugees had been diagnosed with MDR TB in the state during the five years between FY 2011 and FY 2015.
