Six refugees in Wisconsin were diagnosed with multi-drug resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) in 2014 and 2015, according to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
As Breitbart News reported previously, twenty-one additional refugees in Wisconsin were diagnosed with active TB during the same time period, making the Badger State the refugee TB capital of the country, at least among the handful of states that have so far reported that data.
Other states that have reported active TB among refugees include Louisiana (21), Vermont (17), Colorado (16), Florida (11), Kentucky (9 in one county), Idaho (7), Indiana (4), and North Dakota (4 in one county). Breitbart News is still awaiting refugee active TB data from the remaining 41 states.

“The high rate of active TB–and now MDR TB–among Wisconsin’s resettled refugees has become a hot political issue in the Badger State this election cycle.
‘Businessman Paul Nehlen, who is challenging Speaker Paul Ryan for the GOP nomination in Wisconsin’s First Congressional District, is blaming Ryan for the problem.
“A vote for Paul Ryan is a vote to bring more TB to Wisconsin’s First Congressional District,” Nehlen told Breitbart News earlier.
