This is the second of two volumes on tuberculosis.
Recent years have seen a resurgence of tuberculosis, and the emergence of multidrug resistant and extensively drug resistant strains has been a cause for some concern. There is consequently a real need to increase our understanding of this disease both in terms of the bacterium's pathophysiology and how to improve diagnostic procedures and overcome the problem of resistance.
These books provide a comprehensive overview of current tuberculosis knowledge and research. Using examples taken from around the world, they describe studies on the body's immune response to Mycobacterium infection, the bacterium's behavior at the molecular level and the role of specific substances such as heat shock proteins and neutrophils, as well as current/new drug therapies for treatment and management of tuberculosis. Key sections in the books will focus on the fight against drug resistance and also on innovations in diagnosis, such as the discovery of new biomarkers for the disease and the use of techniques such as PCR.
Students, researchers, clinicians and diagnosticians will find a great deal of value in these books, because of its comprehensive view of current and emerging developments in the fight against tuberculosis.
