A Harvard undergraduate was diagnosed with tuberculosis by University Health Services several weeks ago, and roughly forty students at risk for exposure have been asked to submit to a TB skin test, according to information provided by UHS and the Cambridge Public Health Department.
According to Eric Rubin, a professor of immunology and infectious diseases at Harvard Medical School, those students who test positive for TB without showing signs of illness will be recommended to start a nine month regimen of daily antibiotics.
Seventeen percent of Harvard’s Class of 2010 applied to Teach for America.
With 293 total applicants, Harvard saw the largest share of its senior class apply in TFA’s 19 year history, according to Anasstassia Baichorova, a TFA recruiter for Harvard and Brown.
Last year 14 percent of the senior class applied, and 55 members of the class of 2009 are currently working for TFA, according to Baichorova. Harvard graduates comprised the largest percentage of last year’s TFA hires, Baichorova said.
