Georgian exposes others to tuberculosis

Georgia health officials are tracking down about 200 people they believe have been exposed to tuberculosis.

A man with the disease was jailed earlier this month because he did not comply with his treatment plan which included staying in his Covington home, east of Atlanta.

Health officials are trying to contact everyone 32-year old Anthony Underwood met with over the last three months, including his seven children. Chest x-rays on two of the children indicate they were exposed to the disease. No one has yet tested positive for the infection.
