ECCMID programme

This handbook consists of nine chapters describing basic techniques in the laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis. It covers biosafety, quality assurance, latent TB infection, smear microscopy, identification of M. tuberculosis and drug resistance, culture, drug susceptibility testing, and molecular methods.
This first edition is intended to contribute to the harmonisation of diagnostic methods for TB within the EU/EEA.
