  • Tuberculosis


    Description and Information


      • Released Date: 

      • November-2011

      • Revised: 

      • May-2014

    • Title: 

    • Diagnosis and Management of Active Tuberculosis

    View More Details

    • Description: 

    • The rate of TB in Alberta has increased in the past two years and delays in the diagnosis of tuberculosis have resulted in increased morbidity and mortality, increased transmission of infection, greater need for prolonged isolation, and ultimately higher healthcare costs.

    • Target Population: 

    • All

    • Exclusions: 

    • None. While extrapulmonary TB and preventative therapy for latent tuberculosis infection are relevant to primary care, they are outside the scope of this guideline.
