More TB found at Sears headquarters
HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Jan. 30 (UPI) -- Two more workers at the suburban Chicago headquarters of Sears Holdings Corp. have tested positive for tuberculosis, a report said Wednesday.
The discovery comes after employees of the Cook County Health Department conducted TB tests on 40 people who worked with a Sears employee who was treated for the disease, The Chicago Sun-Times reported.

Loewy says the woman discovered to have tuberculosis responded to drugs and is back at work.
