Tacoma woman cured of tuberculosis after court-ordered isolation, treatment
A Tacoma woman who was ordered by a Pierce County court to isolate at home for treatment of tuberculosis after she was arrested and jailed last year is finally cured.
The woman, according to the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department, has gained back weight she'd lost and is healthy again. While public health doesn't typically release information on individual patients, they said the woman and her family gave them permission and are happy she got the help she needed.
The woman was arrested on June 1, 2023, to receive medical treatment in jail for TB. Pierce County deputies arrested the woman after a judge issued a 17th order in May for her to be involuntarily detained for treatment. The woman had been avoiding treatment for the disease for more than a year.
