Flight Itinerary of U.S. Traveler with Extensively Drug–Resistant Tuberculosis (XDR TB) (May 30, 2007)

This is an archived document. The links and content are no longer being updated.

Provided below is the complete flight itinerary of the U.S. traveler with extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR TB) who traveled between North America and Europe from May 12-24.

CDC recommends that all U.S. residents and citizens onboard Air France #385/Delta #8517 departing Atlanta on May 12 and arriving in Paris on May 13, and on Czech Air #0104 departing from Prague and arriving in Montreal on May 24 seek TB testing and evaluation. Passengers traveling on these flights please call 1-800 CDC INFO for further information.

Both CDC and the WHO consider the risk of infection to travelers on flights under eight hours to be very low. However, if you were a passenger on one of the flights that were shorter than 8 hours and are concerned, check with your local public health department or your primary care physician about being tested for TB.
