A case of infectious tuberculosis has been confirmed in Maidstone.

The Health Protection Agency said the case was discovered in a person who visits a day centre for the homeless.

It is reassuring people in the town that they are highly unlikely to have the infection.

Three further cases of illness in homeless people who use the Maidstone Day Centre in Knightrider Street, are also being investigated, although TB has not yet been confirmed.
