SAN DIEGO – A San Diego City College student has been diagnosed with tuberculosis, and about 190 students and faculty members have been notified that they may have been exposed, county officials said Tuesday.

The student attended classes from Aug. 25 to Nov. 3.

All of those possibly exposed have been notified by mail, said Leslie Ridgeway, a spokeswoman for the county Health and Human Services Agency.

Last year, there were 280 known cases of tuberculosis in San Diego County. So far this year, there have been 201, Ridgeway said.

Symptoms include persistent cough, fever, night sweats and unexplained weight loss. Most people exposed do not develop the disease, Ridgeway said.

Students who received notices can get a tuberculosis skin test from a family doctor, at county public health centers, or from the college's Student Health Services.
