Synopsis

This reference deals with tuberculosis in both developed and developing countries, and thoroughly examines the disease from an historical, theoretical and practical perspective. Containing 1800 bibliographic citations and more than 150 tables, drawings, photographs and micrographs, "Tuberculosis": outlines the relationships among socio-economic, public health and medical conditions that continue to make this disease the leading cause of death of any single infectious disease worldwide; details various treatment regimens to ensure that those infected fully benefit from recent advances; and evaluates the success and limitations of numerous control programmes, including the strategies of the World Health Organization. Written by over 40 leading, international authorities in the field, "Tuberculosis" is a reference for pulmonary, respiratory and infectious disease specialists; clinical microbiologists; pulmonologists; epidemiologists; immunologists; pathologists; physiologists; internists; public-health physicians; local, regional, national and international public-health officials; and graduate and medical students in these disciplines.
