Description

The infectious disease caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis is known as tuberculosis (TB). Some common symptoms of this disease are cough characterized by blood-containing sputum, along with night sweats, weight loss and fever. It can be diagnosed by chest X-rays, tuberculin skin test, culture and microscopic examination of body fluids. Tuberculosis majorly affects the lungs. The tuberculosis that does not affect the lungs is known as extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. BCG vaccine is a commonly used vaccine for preventing TB. It has certain limitations due to which constant research is ongoing to develop better vaccinations along with medications to treat multi-drug resistant TB. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to the diagnosis, prevention and management of tuberculosis. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to practicing doctors and medical students.
