Upcoming Webinars

May 27, 2026 – WCLN Webinar on Lyme Disease

Rebecca Osborn, MPH (DHS) will give a presentation on Lyme Disease.

Diagnostic testing for Lyme disease relies upon serologic testing algorithms which involve multiple tests with result interpretations that change depending on the timing of testing and the clinical presentation in the patient. This can lead to misinterpretation among health care providers and patients. In this webinar, we will review recommendations for appropriate use, interpretation, and reporting of Lyme disease diagnostic tests in Wisconsin.

June 23, 2026 – WCLN Webinar on Tuberculosis (TB)

Nathan Simon, Ph.D. (WSLH) will give a presentation on TB.

This webinar will focus on diagnostic testing for mycobacteria as seen through an historical lens and then transitioning to a “modern mycobacteriology” testing algorithm currently used at the WSLH. Particular attention will be placed on molecular testing methods used to rapidly identify organism or drug resistance, including advances in targeted next-generation or whole-genome sequencing.
