Guidelines for surveillance of drug resistance in tuberculosis
WHO and the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease

WHO/HTM/TB/2007.385

Interim recommendations for the surveillance of drug resistance in tuberculosis 2007

New recommendations have been issued for the surveillance of drug resistance in TB to provide up-to-date guidance on the design and implementation of drug-resistance surveys or surveillance systems to TB control programme managers and their staff.

The latest recommendations build on those developed in 2003, and provide additional specific information related to groups at high risk of TB infection, incorporation of second-line drug susceptibility testing, and HIV coinfection. The interim recommendations will be updated later in the year to incorporate revisions agreed by TB drug-resistant specialists attending a meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, on TB testing and drug susceptibility in July.
