State Laboratory Plan Is Changed For Disease Study
The Illinois state board of health reorganizes the Springfield laboratory to study only communicable diseases, chiefly tuberculosis, diphtheria, typhoid fever, malaria, and meningitis. It will no longer accept non infectious specimens and will boost TB screening with new physician forms and broader outreach. Water testing remains via Urbana, at no cost, with transport paid by users. tuberculosis specimens require special containers or carbolic acid tubes and full postage.
