Inhaltsangabe

The reemergence of tuberculosis is now a major health problem around the world. This often fatal disease persists as the largest cause of death from a single infectious agent. The editor, a leading figure in tuberculosis research, has gathered a team of acknowledged scientific and clinical experts from around the world to bring together the most current body of information on all aspects of tuberculosis its global importance, epidemiology, molecular biology, and immunology. The authors discuss fundamental questions about the biology, genetics, mechanisms of pathogenicity, mechanisms of resistance, and drug development strategies that are likely to provide important new knowledge about TB and new interventions to prevent and treat this disease. Tuberculosis is necessary reading for all microbiologists, clinicians, and public health officials concerned with the resurgence and spread of tuberculosis.

Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The reemergence of TB is a major health problem; as is its persistence as the largest cause of death from a single infectious disease in the world. Because of the lack of support, and the difficulties in working with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, research and knowledge have lagged behind most infectious diseases. This book summarises the current state of knowledge about tuberculosis – its global importance, epidemiology, molecular biology and immunology – in a single book. It is designed to present what is currently known and to indicate directions for future research on the disease organism, its pathogenesis and treatment.
