EL PASO, Texas (AP) — The El Paso Department of Public Health says no babies have active tuberculosis but five of about 200 have positive test results. A nurse assistant at an El Paso hospital nursery exposed hundreds of infants to the disease between September 2013 and last month. The five babies will be offered treatment, although four of the children had been vaccinated, meaning their results could be false-positives. Some 850 children may have been exposed.
