Health officials throughout the state of Indiana are investigating around 20 potential cases of Tuberculosis.

Including one case at the Indiana University Health Bloomington Hospital.

Officials say many of the patients received a bone repair product that now has been linked to several Tuberculosis infections across the country.

Tuberculosis is a potentially fatal bacterial disease that attacks the lungs, but is also know to attack the kidneys, spine and the brain.

Indiana state law does require health departments to report cases within 72-hours.
