Find TB Resources Website E-Newsletter
July 2010

Greetings!

Welcome to this month's e-newsletter for the Find TB Resources Website (findtbresources.cdc.gov). The purpose of this monthly newsletter is to inform you about the featured Highlight of the Month, additional helpful resources in the database, and other updates to the website.

Highlight of the Month

This month's highlight is the Updated Guidelines for Using Interferon Gamma Release Assays (IGRA) to Detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection - United States, 2010, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) provides guidance to U.S. public health officials, health-care providers, and laboratory workers for use of FDA-approved IGRAs in the diagnosis of tuberculosis infection in adults and children. To accompany these guidelines, CDC has also developed a fact sheet summarizing the report.
