Synopsis

This book provides an overview of pulmonary tuberculosis, a bacterial disease affecting the lungs. Since its discovery in 1882, the author traces the many ways in which it has been studied and treated, discussing everything from early misconceptions and ineffective treatments to the very latest methods and research. The book places special emphasis on the author's own original research in the field, particularly the development of oxytuberculin, a new treatment for tuberculosis. He goes into great detail about his experiments, explaining how oxytuberculin helps the body's immune system fight off the disease. The author also discusses the social implications of tuberculosis, including the stigma associated with it and the importance of public health measures in preventing its spread. The book concludes by discussing the future of tuberculosis treatment and research, and the author expresses his hope that one day the disease will be eradicated.
