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.
