Tuberculosis: A discussion of Phthisiogenesis, Immunology, Pathologic Physiology Diagnosis, and Treatment

Abstract

This is a timely synthesis of current clinical knowledge on human tuberculosis and is particularly valuable because of the author's half-century of experience and leadership in the field. His approach to the consideration of the problem is largely immunologic and physiologic. In his discussions the author has attempted to make clinical processes stand out in their immunologic relationships to show tuberculosis in "its dual aspect of a metastasizing-destructive as well as a localizing-healing disease."

The student of childhood tuberculosis will find here a valuable source of information as well as much mental stimulation concerning solved and unsolved problems in this disorder.
