Publisher's Synopsis
This book dispells many of those myths which surround tuberculosis, and makes sobering reading for anyone in the medical professions. Those born in a country with a low birth rate, such as the UK, are likely to have a low rate of infection from tuberculosis, whereas the opposite is the case for those born in a country with a high birth rate. Failure to appreciate this epidemiological factor is the cause of much confusion in the treatment and care of tuberculosis in the United Kingdom.
