Every child at one secondary school will be screened for tuberculosis after six pupils were diagnosed with the infection.

Health experts fear they picked up the illness while at South Camden Community College.

All teachers and pupils who attended the school over the past year will be asked to have a blood test.

Britain was as good as clear of TB but, inevitably, immigrants were bound to bring this disease with them and threaten our lives.

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
"

From William Shakespeare's "Macbeth"
