Integris Southwest Community HospitalMore than a dozen people, including employees, patients and visitors at the Oklahoma City hospital have tested positive for exposure to tuberculosis after coming in contact with a nurse who had been diagnosed with the disease. All victims so far seem to be from Oklahoma and were infected between January 1, 2006 and August 11, 2006. A class action lawsuit has been filed in Oklahoma County District Court against the hospital. Public health officials sent letters to more than 2,000 people with potential exposure to the nurse, and efforts to screen them will continue.Register a Similar ComplaintIf you or a loved one has suffered damages in a similar case, you may qualify for damages or remedies that may be awarded in a possible class action or lawsuit.
