Opis: Color Atlas of Comparative Pathology of Pulmonary Tuberculos - F Leong

Written by notable authorities from the several disciplines involved with tuberculosis research, this book is the first pictorial histopathology atlas with annotations on tuberculosis. The book's drug discovery and animal model perspective makes in applicative rather than academic and presents the material in a highly readable format. Each section will cover the manifestations of induced or acquired pulmonary tuberculosis in one of six animal species (models) - human, non-human primate, rabbit, guinea pig, rat, and mouse. It provides low, medium, and high power microscopy views of lung tissue in color to enhance the understanding of TB for newcomers and the senior tuberculosis researchers. "This book is an excellent introduction to pulmonary tuberculosis and the physiologic, pathologic, and political hurdles as to why it has been such a difficult disease to contend with. The authors explain the intricacies of the tuberculin bacterium, the host defenses, and the theories behind current treatment modalities. The atlas is designed as a concise resource for researchers working in the field and the laboratory to evaluate the pulmonary pathologic response to the Mycobacterium organism and design more successful treatment and disease eradication for human and animal species. The multitude of photomicrographs and gross pathology photographs are of excellent quality and well-labeled. The text is well written, organized in an easy to read format, and well-referenced for further research." -Sandra L.
