Beginning with an introduction to the microbiology and epidemiology of the disease, the following chapters provide in depth coverage of the clinical assessment, diagnostic techniques, and management options for different strains of tuberculosis.
Each chapter is highly illustrated with tables and images to enhance the detailed text.
