About this title

Review

Anyone involved in treating tuberculosis will benefit from this book, whether they live in rich countries or poor.

This book contains an enormous amount of information but is well organised and the material clearly explained.
Roger Woodruff, Director of Palliative Care, Aust

It is heartening .... to find a new book covering this specialist field, and even more so to find that it is primarily aimed at nurses, who now have an increasingly important role in the control and management of TB. However, other health professionals working with patients with this disease will find the book useful, as it contains in-depth chapters about epidemiology, microbiology and immunity as well as a comprehensive glossary and an extensive list of reference.
