About this book

Completely revised and updated, this comprehensive resource covers the epidemiology, pathogenesis, varied clinical manifestations, treatment and prevention of tuberculosis. All of the extra-pulmonary as well as pulmonary manifestations of tuberculosis are covered. Atypical mycobacterial infection is detailed. A special feature of this second edition is the new material on AIDS, which is now known to be complicated by tuberculosis infection.
