The International Standards for Tuberculosis Care (ISTC) describe a widely accepted level of care that all practitioners, public and private, should seek to achieve in managing patients who have, or are suspected of having, tuberculosis. The Standards are intended to facilitate the effective engagement of all care providers in delivering high-quality care for patients of all ages, including those with sputum smear-positive, sputum smear-negative, and extra pulmonary tuberculosis, tuberculosis caused by drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex organisms, and tuberculosis combined with HIV infection.

The ISTC are available for download in English, French and Spanish at the National TB Center web site managed by The Francis J. Curry National Tuberculosis Center (CNTC) at the University of California, San Francisco.
