Twenty-five former patients who may have been exposed to killer tuberculosis by an infected nurse at St. Barnabas Hospital sought tests for TB yesterday.
Ten were tested and 15 others called for appointments to be tested, said Barnabas spokesman Fred Winters.
The city Health Department and hospital announced Thursday that 700 patients - including 238 newborns and tots - may have been exposed. Patients and staff who may be exposed can call the hospital at (718) 960-3624 or the city's 311 hotline for free testing.
