Mycobacterial infections: guidelines for reporting and revised format for presentation

A new format for the presentation of mycobacterial infections appears in the accompanying CDR Weekly (Communicable Disease Report 1995; 5:22). To ensure accuracy and consistency in the collation of information about mycobacterial infections, the PHLS Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre has developed guidelines for reporting and has adopted definitions for the classification of sites of infection. These guidelines and definitions are published here for the first time.
