• Description:
  The Laboratory Capacity Team (LCT) in the Laboratory Branch (LB) of the Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE) at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is pleased to present the “Fourth Edition of the Tuberculosis Laboratory Aggregate Report.” This report includes a comparison of aggregate workload data for calendar years 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015, and six-year trends (2010–2015) for turnaround time (TAT). Current public health laboratory (PHL) testing methods and practices for tuberculosis (TB) are also included in this report. Data are self-reported by PHL supported, in part, by the CDC TB Elimination Cooperative Agreement. Data serve as a tool to assess benchmarks and provide peer comparisons. Providing self-reported data back to grantees in a meaningful format is an important mission of LCT. ; Suggested citation: CDC.
