| Royal College of Physicians/NICE - TB Clinical Guidelines |
Clinical diagnosis and management of tuberculosis, and measures for its prevention and control, developed by the National Collaborating Centre for Chronic Conditions at the Royal College of Physicians, March 2006.
Tuberculosis, or TB, is one of man’s oldest foes and for centuries among the most feared. One of the triumphs of modern medicine has been the development of vaccination and medication capable of combating this ancient disease, and it now rarely troubles the thoughts of those born into modern Western society. Yet TB remains capable of exciting occasional major concern, for example when reports of local outbreaks emerge.
The guideline has been commissioned by NICE as a successor to the British Thoracic Society’s TB guidelines, which have been used with great benefit for many years as the principal source of advice on TB management in the UK. The scope of the guideline is unusually wide, and the work has been divided between two separate guideline development groups, one covering diagnosis and management, the other prevention and control.
