The Oxford Immunotec TB Learning Zone

This site is designed to provide doctors with rapid access to facts about Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB).

Pathophysiology and the immunological detection of latent disease, including the use of interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs), are highlighted.

The World Health Organisation has emphasized the importance of identifying and treating latent TB, stating:

“Tuberculosis control and elimination strategies
must aim at diminishing the incidence and prevalence
of latent infection to reduce the pool of those with
tuberculosis infection from which future cases of
tuberculosis will emanate”. Register and Get Started

Effectively completing the training in the Learning
Zone will normally take approximately 90 minutes.
