      This thought-provoking biography of tuberculosis presents medical, historical, and social perspectives on this reemergent threat.Tuberculosis is a complicated medical condition that has a rich and important history, a distinctive social context, and an active and destructive present. The disease appears in Greek literature as early as 460 BCE and was a favorite of 19th-century novelists whose heroines often succumbed to “consumption.” Through history, the development of TB diagnosis and treatment has been synonymous with events in the development of medicine. Tuberculosis presents TB from the perspective of the people and events that shaped its past and the factors that influence its current global state. The book begins with an essay discussing the importance of the social factors that influence the transmission and progression of TB. The following eight chapters focus on disease-specific information, historical and biographical perspectives, influence on the arts, the current state of TB in the world, and future directions. Throughout, medical information about the disease is intertwined with a historical and cultural perspective to illustrate the state of the disease today.Includes images of people and events that are important to the history of TB, as well as those that illustrate various aspects of TB, from microscopic views of bacteria to an example of a Christmas SealPresents a World Health Organization map of the 22 countries that carry 80 percent of the global TB burden
