Brant County experiences two to four active tuberculosis (TB) cases per year and 30-40 inactive cases. By law, all TB cases must be reported to the health unit.

We help control TB by working with individuals, agencies, health care providers, and infected patients. Our program offers:

Tuberculosis (TB) skin test (TST)
Infectious case identification and follow up

Free treatment for active and inactive cases

For questions about TB and our program, please call 519-753-4937 ext. 448.
