WHO endorses new rapid tuberculosis test A major milestone for global TB diagnosis and WHO endorses new rapid tuberculosis test A major milestone for global TB diagnosis and care • 2010. 12. 8 | London | Geneva - Today, WHO endorsed a new and novel rapid test for tuberculosis (TB), especially relevant in countries most affected by the disease. The test could revolutionize TB care and control by providing an accurate diagnosis for many patients in about 100 minutes, compared to current tests that can take up to three months to have results. • "This new test represents a major milestone for global TB diagnosis and care. It also represents new hope for the millions of people who are at the highest risk of TB and drug-resistant disease. " said Dr Mario Raviglione, Director of WHO's Stop TB Department. "We have the scientific evidence, we have defined the policy, and now we aim to support implementation for impact in countries. " PAGE | 43

Over the next few days, WHO will convene independent experts to review the full evidence about the field effectiveness of this novel technology and propose it to country programs. These results suggest that it has the potential to revolutionize TB care, and WHO will treat it as a top priority. ”
