TB Andy Has A Playmate

Maybe they can start their own club or something.

A man who had been quarantined with a drug-resistant form of tuberculosis for nearly a year was transferred to a hospital in Colorado on Thursday for treatment.

Robert Daniels, 27, has an multiple drug-resistant form of TB. He was placed in a jail ward at Maricopa Medical Center in Phoenix last August under court order after medical authorities complained that he had endangered others.

Thursday morning, Daniels was taken to Denver's National Jewish Medical and Research Center, which specializes in treating respiratory diseases. Under an agreement worked out between Arizona and Colorado authorities, Daniels will have a security guard outside his door around the clock, hospital spokesman William Allstetter said.
