VICTORIA — The University of Victoria says an active case of tuberculosis has been detected on campus.

The university says in a statement that the infected person, identified only as a “member of the campus community,” has been self-isolating since their diagnosis.

It says those who may have been in close contact with the individual have received an email outlining screening requirements and supports.

The B.C. Centre for Disease Control says tuberculosis is an infection caused by a slow-growing germ, most often in the lungs, that can be spread through coughing, sneezing, laughing or singing.
