• Description:
  This issue includes a report prepared by the Advisory Council for the Elimination of Tuberculosis to provide a national standard for control and elimination of Tuberculosis for policymakers, TB control program managers, and others involved in local programs. Additionally, the report provides information on the prioritization of TB control activities and coordination with health-care providers. Also included is a report to update and replace previous recommendations for screening among high-risk populations. These new recommendations emphasize that screening for TB infections should not be given over high priority TB prevention and control activities, especially identifying and completely treating all persons who have active TB as well as conducting prompt, effective contact investigation; provide more detailed recommendations for screening specific high-risk groups; provide a detailed description of the tuberculin skin test; and revise CDC’s previous recommendations regarding anergy testing.
