Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a clinical exploration of tuberculosis, the most destructive disease of humans, claiming the lives of one in nine white persons in the past. It presents the germ theory of disease and the discovery of the tubercle bacillus by Koch in 1882, revealing the microscopic organism's unique staining properties. The author details the bacillus's morphology, growth, cultivation and virulence in various animals, especially cattle, and its resistance to cold and heat. Many forms of tuberculosis are discussed, with their pathology ranging from circumscribed deposits to widely disseminated infection. Fibrous forms of the disease that heal with scar tissue formation are contrasted with those leading to tissue breakdown, cavity formation, and high fever due to mixed infection. The book concludes by examining the deceptive, slow-progressing forms of tuberculosis that lead to dyspnea and a rapid heartbeat due to extensive deposits of tubercles throughout the lungs. This book is an invaluable resource for medical professionals seeking a comprehensive understanding of tuberculosis.
