Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Why is tuberculosis out of control? What prompted a change in U.S. health policy? In the revised edition of the 1994 book, the editor has updated his bestseller to address the new challenge tuberculosis is presenting to both the medical community and the general public. The emphasis in the United States has changed to directly observe treatment, concentrating on foreign-born individuals. Not only do the authors address transmission and control issues, but they offer the latest information concerning the treatment of drug-resistant strains of the disease, HIV-infected patients, and the alarming TB rates in developing countries. Book News Annotation:With one South African exception, the contributors are from major US
universities, and many have clinical and well as research experience.
They review the literature on such topics as epidemiology,
presentation and treatment of sensitive and drug-resistant strains in
normal and immunocompromised hosts in the US and the world,
environmental and public health issues, new diagnostic methods with
an emphasis on molecular techniques, pulmonary and extrapulmonary
tuberculosis in adults and children, pregnancy, mycobacteriologic
radiology, and the controversies around the use of BCG vaccine. The
first edition was published in 1994.
