Download and installation help is available. Dear Clinician, This booklet responds to clinicians questions about tuberculosis infection, disease, and control. The standards and guidelines are based on the work and experience of the American Thoracic Society, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the New York City Department of Health, and the Atlanta TB Prevention Coalition. The treatment of a patient with TB always requires a clinician to exercise clinical and professional judgment. These guidelines provide a framework for the treatment of patients with TB infection or disease.
Standardized treatment offers the greatest opportunity for controlling tuberculosis.
This is not an exhaustive treatment of the subjects covered. It is an accessible reference guide. Since guidelines for treating and controlling TB continue to evolve, it is appropriate for clinicians to check further for new treatment regimens. Use this plain text version .
