DALLAS, Texas -- Ten unaccompanied alien children (UAC), who entered the U.S. illegally, were diagnosed with Tuberculosis (TB) between January through September, CNS News isreporting. All were detained while trying to enter the United States from the Mexican border, according to the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). Their points of entry were not disclosed.

According to CNS News, these children were allowed to stay in the United States.

ORR spokesman Kenneth Wolfe told the news outlet in an email that the children were isolated and treated, "after being rendered non-infectious, all 10 were released to verified sponsors in the U.S."

Wolfe also said, "The respective local health department connects with the health department in the city in which the child is released through the inter-jurisdictional TB notification system, and our Office of Refugee Resettlement also notifies the state.  Then, the local TB control program follows up with the child and family.

8 infants test positive for TB at Texas hospital

AP

Health screenings reveal that eight infants have tested positive for tuberculosis following the discovery that a nurse's assistant infected with TB worked at an El Paso hospital's nursery.

El Paso Public Health Director Robert Resendes said Thursday that of the eight, five babies had been vaccinated previously against TB and their results may be false positives. Preventive medical treatments have been offered for all eight.

None of the babies have active TB, the deadly and contagious form of the disease.

Health authorities also raised to 860 the number of infants possibly exposed at Providence Memorial Hospital. The hospital says it passed the first inspection by federal health authorities and inspectors will return in December.
