Barriers to Children Walking to or From School—United States, 2004

Abstract

infections include (1) asking known contacts whether they have heard from patients since the hurricane, (2) visiting locations known to be frequented by patients before the hurricane, (3) calling all known phone numbers for each patient, (4) checking public registries (e.g., American Red Cross Family Linking at http://www .katrinasafe.org)for updated news on patient whereabouts, and (5) seeking access to mortality records and other registries for cross-matching.A Katrina Help Desk was established on September 2 at the CDC Division of Tuberculosis Elimination to facilitate communication between the National TB Controllers Association and state TB programs as patients were relocated to other states.Health-care providers should immediately contact their state TB controllers (available at http://www.cdc.gov/nchstp/tb/katrina/tbcontrollers.htm) if an evacuee has TB symptoms (i.e., cough of Ն3 weeks duration, fever, chills, night sweats, or recent weight loss) or was under treatment for TB disease.The Louisiana TB Control Program (telephone 337-262-5616) will provide information about treatment regimens previously administered to relocated patients.If providers are unable to reach a local or state TB controller, they may contact the CDC Division of Tuberculosis Elimination at telephone 404-639-8336 for assistance.
