Item description from seller

This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis: past, present and future Ivan Bastian and Franyoise Portaels Mycobacteriology Unit.

At the beginning of the 20th century, all TB cases were refractory to all available therapies.
