GWINNETT DAILY POST
TB on rise in county 7-27- 2008
Spike likely due to influx of immigrants
Goins said the increase is probably because of Gwinnett’s large immigrant population. While people who enter the country legally are tested for contagious diseases such as TB, Goins said there is no way to check those who come here illegally – until they present with symptoms.
