Fight TB: Know the signs and symptoms

Since January of 2016, we have seen an increase of multidrug-resistance tuberculosis (MDR TB) in Minnesota. The severe increase in these rates is due to an MDR TB outbreak within the Hmong community of the east metro. What is very concerning about this outbreak is that it is not regular TB, but MDR TB. This means some of the typical medicines used to treat TB do not work, and we need to use stronger medications over a long period of time to get rid of the disease.
