A woman in Washington state<\/a> who was diagnosed with tuberculosis was found in contempt of court Friday after she allegedly refused to pursue treatment and took a public bus to a casino rather than isolate while under surveillance.<\/p>\n

Judge Philip Sorenson authorized law enforcement to detain the unidentified woman following a civil arrest warrant issued March 3, according to local King 5<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The warrant permits the woman’s involuntary detention, testing and treatment at the Pierce County jail.<\/p>\n

The woman has reportedly refused to take medication and follow protective guidelines despite the efforts of her own family members and the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An officer with the Pierce County Corrections Bureau surveilled the woman’s home last month and saw a city bus drop her off at a casino, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

She reportedly has not been seen at her home since, and members of her family have not responded to inquiries from the police.<\/p>\n

“We have worked with family and community members for more than a year to do everything we can to persuade this woman to take her medication to protect herself and our community,” the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Pierce County Corrections Bureau Chief Patricia Jackson stated in a court declaration that she believed the woman with tuberculosis was actively evading arrest.<\/p>\n

The Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department sees about 20 cases of active tuberculosis every year, which health care providers are required to report under state law.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We are always hopeful a patient will choose to comply voluntarily,” the department said in a statement. “Seeking to enforce a court order through a civil arrest warrant is always our last resort.”<\/p>\n

This case marks the third time in the past 20 years that the health department has sought a court order to detain an individual who is potentially contagious with tuberculosis and refusing treatment.<\/p>\n

Tuberculosis is an airborne disease<\/a> caused by bacteria that primarily affect the lungs. Common symptoms include cough, fever, night sweats and weight loss, according to the World Health Organization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
