Tuberculosis General Information for Campus Community

Message shared with Campus Community

Dear TXST Community,

On Tuesday, June 10th, the Hays County Health Department informed us that a person on our San Marcos Campus was diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) disease. While the chance of exposure and infection is minimal, we wanted to make you aware.

Individuals who have had close contact with the person who tested positive will be notified directly by the Hays County Health Department.

If you have questions about tuberculosis, please visit University Health Services’ Tuberculosis FAQs.

For additional information, call University Health Services at 512-245-2161 or the Hays County Health Department at 512-393-5520, extension 1.

We care deeply about your health and well-being and are here to support you.
