This manual describes policies, protocols and recommendations for the prevention, treatment and control of tuberculosis from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH). The protocols address testing, preventive treatment, initial evaluation for TB, treatment of TB disease and drug-resistant TB, monitoring and follow-up evaluation, infection control, and case management. Originally published in 1993, with subsequent editions in 1997 and 1999, the 4th edition of the manual has been updated to reflect changes in national recommendations and NYC Bureau of Tuberculosis Control (BTBC) protocols.
