Rosas Cruz, 25, suffering from tuberculosis, went missing with no whereabouts leaving officials of Stockton worried. They are concerned regarding the risk that can approach on the health of civic people.

Similar disappearance by Armando Rodriguez was also reported two years ago, who was later seized for skipping the treatments.

Tuberculosis is caused by bacterial infection that commonly occurs in the lungs. The strong immune system can withhold and prevent the bacteria to reproduce and live in an inert form for years. However, in some cases the bacteria can multiply revealing the symptoms at an alarming rate making it immensely contagious. It has high chances to escalate by coughing, sneezing and even speaking.

The treatment itself involves a lengthy procedure of six to nine months involving rigid attachment to medical interventions. Resistance shown by the bacteria elongates the treatment.

Cruz who used to live at the Capri Motel in Stockton suddenly disappeared without disclosing any information. His tenant, Angelina Hernandez mentions that she used to wave him from a distance without getting near to him considering the fact that he was sick.

He didn't take any sound treatment and his sudden disappearance leaves authorities with no other option apart from the issuing a warrant against him.

The communicable tuberculosis disease has the tendency to grow again if the proper treatment isn't ensured. However, the main concern is about the health risk he poses to general public, who can easily get infected, not knowing his health status.

The authorities don't want to institute or conduct legal proceedings against him, but as far as the security and prevention is concerned, they will leave no stone unturned to find out the missing person and treat him properly.

According to officials, cases like these get filed once or twice a year. It is crucial for them to keep a check on the physical well being of the regional people.
