BOSTON -- Four employees at the state medical examiner's office in Boston have tested positive for tuberculosis.

It was determined when they conducted a routine skin test on 40 people.

Since it's a latent form, they do not pose a danger to themselves or anyone else.

It's still unknown how they got the disease. But an investigation continues.
