Die Tuberkulose (TB) ist weltweit verbreitet und gehört nach Angaben der WHO mit HIV/AIDS und Malaria zu den weltweit häufigsten Infektionskrankheiten. Schwerpunktgebiete der TB-Epidemie sind Asien und Afrika, wo zusammen ungefähr 86% aller TB-Fälle auftraten. Die steigende Mobilität und zunehmende Internationalisierung aller Lebensbereiche birgt das Risiko, dass die TB – oft auch als HIV/TB-Koinfektion – eine zunehmende Bedrohung wird, insbesondere durch die Verbreitung von resistenten Stämmen.Dieses neu überarbeitete MiQ-Heft beschreibt die empfohlenen Verfahren zur TB-Diagnostik, mit einem Schwerpunkt auf den neuen, schnellen Methoden. Neben ausführlichen Angaben zur Präanalytik werden alle Aspekte der Labordiagnostik, einschließlicher Nukleinsäureamplifikationsverfahren und immunologischer Tests (IGRAs) behandelt. Es liefert Indikationen für den Einsatz der unterschiedlichen diagnostischen Verfahren und gibt Tipps zum Arbeitsschutz und Sicherheitsmanagement. Hinweise zur Wirtschaftlichkeit und einer effektiven Qualitätssicherung schließen diese MiQ ab, so dass sie einen wichtigen Beitrag dazu leisten kann, die Krankheit schnell zu diagnostizieren und erfolgreich zu behandeln.
