A female patient with tuberculosis in Washington State, USA, refused to be treated, refused to be isolated, and walked around. In addition, the female patient did not appear in court. She was considered to be in contempt of court. Last week, she was finally arrested and detained in a registered prison. pressure chamber.
The woman, identified as VN in court documents, was first ordered in involuntary detention last January by the Pierce County Superior Court in Washington state because health officials had made reasonable efforts, according to multiple U.S. media reports. But the female patient refused to cooperate. In the trial in March, the female patient did not appear in court, so she was considered to be in contempt of court. She was arrested by the police on May 30.
Tuberculosis is a deadly and contagious disease that spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. According to the official response, the female patient will not face criminal charges but has been ordered to spend at least 45 days in prison, “according to her condition, she can leave early or later … We hope that she will choose to be treated for tuberculosis”.
In fact, similar incidents also occurred in 2007. An American lawyer infected with rare extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR TB) traveled to many European countries regardless of the danger of spreading the germs, and even drove back to the United States from Canada. The health authorities on both sides of the strait were tense, and the US customs officers who carelessly let go were transferred.
