The TB-problem seemed to have been nearly solved in the last decades, however now it is the infection disease number one once again. A disturbingly high percentage of people worldwide are infected! The fact that the TB-causes are more and more resistant against the whole range of common antibiotics creates massive difficulties in the curing process. Tuberculosis can spread easily and anti-TB medication and treatment are not available in many parts of the world, thus making the illness a huge issue for health- policy makers around the globe. This book provides a highly valuable and detailed information about the disease sometimes called even the White Plague.
