Updated 2025 ECDCOPERATIONAL SUPPORT Handbook on tuberculosis laboratorydiagnostic methods in the European Union Updated 2025 This report of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) was coordinated by Csaba Ködmönwith support from Marieke J van der Werf, Daniela Maria Cirillo, and Elisa Tagliani. This report was sent for consultation to the members of ERLTB-Net (see Annex 3 for list of contributors). The first version of this ECDC technical report, previously published as ‘Mastering the basics of TB control:Development of a handbook on TB diagnostic methods’ (Stockholm 2011), concerned the development of thehandbook. This report was then revised and renamed ‘Handbook on TB laboratory diagnostic methods in theEuropean Union’ in 2016, and subsequently in 2018 ‘Handbook on tuberculosis laboratory diagnostic methods in theEuropean Union – Updated 2018’. As new scientific evidence became available, a further revision was undertaken in2022, and four chapters were updated (chapters 6, 7, 8, and 10). In this version, published in 2025, two chapterswere updated (chapters 1 and 2) and one new chapter was added (chapter 11). European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
