Evidence-based TB Diagnosis

A new web resource has been launched called "Evidence-based Tuberculosis Diagnosis" by Stop TB Partnership's New Diagnostic Working Group, in collaboration with WHO, TDR, FIND, GLI, PHAC, and other partners.

As new tests and technologies are constantly entering the market and aggressively promoted, decisions about their use must be evidence-based. The aim of this website is to provide the most comprehensive single source of evidence syntheses, policies, guidelines and research agendas on TB diagnosis. It provides access to systematic reviews, reports, monographs and training modules, as well as slide presentations on TB diagnostics. The website is free to utilize, so anyone can view and download the information.
