      LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -

      More and more mothers and their babies are being tested for tuberculosis after possibly being exposed to the disease at Summerlin Hospital.

      At least 28 positive cases of tuberculosis were linked to exposure within a neonatal intensive care unit, health officials said on Tuesday.

      Mother Blanca Murphy said, "It's very stressful, you know, it's such a newborn, and he's been going through all of this."

      She gave birth to her baby boy Mitch on May 23 at Spring Valley Hospital. At six weeks old, he developed whooping cough and had to spend a week in the NICU at Summerlin Hospital. ..
