Excerpt from The Tuberculosis Nurse: Her Function and Her Qualifications; A Handbook for Practical Workers in the Tuberculosis Campaign
On the other hand are those who direct their efforts towards cultivating the soil. Reliable studies inform us that ninety per cent. Of the human race is tuberculosis infected, and that infec tion occurs at a very early age, so that at twelve years few children have escaped it. Relatively a small number of those infected subsequently be come tuberculous, so that something more than infection is necessary for tuberculosis to develop.
What this something is we do not know. Time, manner, frequency, and intensity of infection play an important part. Apparently too there is a wide personal variation in susceptibility. To just what this personal factor is due we are not in a position to say, but certain general facts known about the distribution of tuberculosis afford us a clue to its interpretation. Tuberculosis, like most infectious diseases, thrives under the conditions that poverty induces. Inadequate housing facili ties, insufficient food, filth, and sordid care are a few of these. If, as all must admit, the tubercle bacillus is more or less ubiquitous and few escape contact with it, then an important part of our campaign of prevention will be the raising of personal resistance so that when infection occurs it may be successfully overcome. Here is the field for wide social activity. Everything that makes for higher standards of living and for improved personal hygiene is a valuable arm against tuber culosis. Housing laws, child-labour laws, the wage question, municipal recreation centres, the liquor question, social service in all its departments, vaca tion lodges, open-air schools, factory inspection, and so on and so on, are all indirectly valuable anti tuberculosis agitation.

Excerpt from The Tuberculosis Nurse: Her Function and Her Qualifications; A Handbook for Practical Workers in the Tuberculosis Campaign
To tuberculosis, more than to any other infectious disease, the parable of the seed and the soil is strictly applicable. Without the tubercle bacillus there can be no tuberculosis, but for tuberculosis to develop, many factors of great complexity and as yet but little understood must facilitate the implantation of the bacillus and augment its growth. It is true that though we may emphasize the rô1e of the bacillus, still we cannot completely ignore those personal factors that contribute to make the infection fruitful, and likewise though we focus our attention upon individual resistance, still we cannot keep out of sight the invader that is being resisted. The two viewpoints meet and run together, but are sufficiently separate to lead to different methods in our efforts to eradicate tuberculosis.
On the one hand are those who direct their efforts toward the annihilation of the tubercle bacillus.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a framework for effectively implementing a tuberculosis screening and prevention program. Written from the author's years of experience working in this field in Baltimore, the book offers a candid, street-level perspective. Tuberculosis nursing is presented as an essential, specialized field within public health, and the author establishes the nurse as the most direct agent in the fight to control this disease. Comprehensive in scope, the book delves into the education of the public health nurse, establishing qualifications and standards, as well as the roles of various stakeholders, including doctors, social workers, and patients. The author also emphasizes the critical need for segregation of advanced tuberculosis cases in hospitals for the protection of the community. She further underscores the value of home visits by public health nurses as the most effective means of identifying and assisting infected individuals, often living in poverty, who might not otherwise seek care. This book is a valuable resource for public health nurses, healthcare professionals, and policymakers seeking to establish or improve tuberculosis control programs.
