"The School District of Lancaster says a student has been diagnosed with Tuberculosis.A letter was sent home to parents Monday, after the case was discovered at Wheatland Middle School.Now, the State Department of Health is trying to determine if anyone else has been exposed to the contagious disease.Tuberculosis can be spread through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, speaks or even sings. However, it is not spread through casual contact, like shaking a hand or from kissing and sharing food or drinks with another person.Symptoms include a cough that lasts longer than three weeks, unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, chest pain, nausea, fever and coughing up blood.Health officials say you could be exposed to the disease and not become ill because the bacteria can be dormant in your system. The health department will be screening students at Wheatland Middle School and then determine if further steps should be taken.\u00A0"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
