Health officials say that an active tuberculosis case in Flathead County is under control.
The patient had recently moved to Montana and was exposed to active tuberculosis in a different state, said county health officials. They declined to provide other specifics, citing patient privacy.
“The patient remained in isolation for the required amount of time, received adequate treatment for their illness, and are no longer considered infectious,” Lisa Dennison, Flathead County’s population health manager, wrote in an email last week.
