Description

This report updates TB control recommendations reflecting shifts in the epidemiology of TB, advances in scientific understanding, and changes in health-care practice that have occurred in the United States during the preceding decade. The new guidelines have been expanded to address a broader concept of healthcare-associated settings which go beyond the previously defined facilities.
