TB control is one of the highest priorities in Ventura County's overall efforts in communicable disease control. The Tuberculosis Control Office provides screening, diagnostic work-ups, nurse and physician evaluations, medication to prevent and treat tuberculosis, inservice to medical providers, and consultation to the medical community. The TB Control Office works closely with the medical community to identify TB suspects early, foster adherence to the treatment regimen, prevent acquired drug resistance, shorten the period of communicability and reduce TB transmission in Ventura County.

You can download the TB Control Office's FAXable TB Suspect/Case Report Form to facilitate TB reporting. You can also download the Confidential Morbidity Report Form to report other communicable diseases to our office. You can call 805-981-5201 for a master copy of either form.
