This fact sheet provides an overview of the treatment of drug-susceptible tuberculosis disease in persons not infected with HIV including the recommended drug regimens, case management, and follow-up evaluations.

The purpose of this manual is to provide information on the professional functions related to TB control based on the DOTS strategy; to propose a standard curriculum for a training programme; and to provide information on educational methodology, planning, and evaluation of the training programme.

The overall goal of the training course is to further develop the skills required to plan and implement collaborative TB/HIV activities based on the strategies for controlling TB and HIV/AIDS recommended by WHO.
Includes a manual for participants, a guide for facilitators, and a guide for the course director.

This manual outlines a global strategy for the development and strengthening of TB laboratory networks. The strategy recognizes the need to upgrade existing laboratory services and to strengthen/build capacity to perform culture and drug susceptibility testing (DST) in areas experiencing a high burden of acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear-negative TB associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and to support DOTS-Plus projects.
