A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Many special works on tuberculosis contain much valuable information concerning the disease in early life, but none of these books supplies sufficient detailed information, presented from the standpoint of the pediatrician. There seems to be an undoubted need, therefore, for a more comprehensive presentation of the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis in early life. No book can take the place of actual experience, but at least it is possible to supply the tools with which the practitioner can tackle his job for it is for the general practitioner that this book is intended. It is based upon a course of lectures which were delivered at the Children s Hospital, Philadelphia, under the auspices of the Philadelphia Pediatrio Society. The subject of tuberculosis is introduced by a consideration of the various etiological factors types of tubercle bacilli and their relative importance, childhood infection and immunity, methods of dissemination and modes of infection. A chapter is devoted to the general principles of diagnosis of tuberculosis, from the carefully elicited history to the complete examination, including also the constitutional symptoms which are more or less common to all forms of the disease. The value of tuberculin in diagnosis is much greater in early life than at any other period, and detailed instructions are given for the application of the various tests.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
