TUCSON, Ariz. - A man was jailed for failing to take his tuberculosis
medication after officials said he was a serious health risk.

James Roman Pearson, 49, remained at the Pima County jail Thursday on a
tuberculosis violation, more than two weeks after the county health
department petitioned to have him taken into custody.

"He is now being held in isolation. The court will decide when he will be
released," said Deputy Dawn Hanke, a sheriff's department spokeswoman.

Pearson has been taking his medication since he has been in custody,
authorities said.

A Superior Court hearing Wednesday was ordered closed and records sealed,
under a state law allowing a TB patient to request both.

Pearson's attorney, Robert Fleming, declined to comment on the hearing
because it was closed.

Under Arizona law, patient confidentiality is paramount in tuberculosis
cases, dating to when those with the disease carried a significant stigma,
he said.

In October, a man who spent nearly a year jailed in Phoenix for failing to
take precautions to prevent the spread of his drug-resistant TB moved to
Russia.

Robert Daniels was determined no longer to be contagious after undergoing
lung surgery in September in Colorado. He had been ordered confined in
August 2006 and was placed in solitary confinement in the jail ward.
Daniels holds both Russian and American citizenship.

In May, a TB patient caused an international health scare when he flew to
Europe for his wedding. There has been no evidence that Andrew Speaker
spread the disease on the flights there and back.

"Prone" is the wrong word. It is actually quite UNcommon.




This is simply not documented At All. It is speculated that sexual
activity, protected or otherwise, can send the pH of the vagina out of
whack, opening a door to yeast.




This is just plain incorrect. Vaginal yeast infections are an overgrowth of
an organism that is always present in a healthy vagina.



For all of you unsuspecting lurkers who don't know it, this is utter crap.
