Tuberculosis, 2nd Edition - Hardbound This comprehensive clinical reference is edited by experts from the NYU-Bellevue Chest Service, which through its influence in tuberculosis care and education has been an integral part of the formation of the entire specialty of pulmonary medicine. The book draws on this extensive experience to present an authoritative account of the history, epidemiology, microbiology, immunology, clinical treatment, pharmacology, and prevention or control of tuberculosis. The book will serve as a definitive reference for specialists in pulmonary medicine, infectious disease, and public health. It offers more concise and focused chapters, new information on molecular biology from the genome project, and updated information especially for the epidemiology section.

Officer Survival: - Video Airborne Pathogens - Tuberculosis Pathogens generally refer to microbes, bacilli, germs, viruses, and bacteria that can cause illness. Airborne pathogens are diseases passed through the air and, when breathed in, can cause various illnesses. Tuberculosis is a life-threatening disease transmitted through the air. It was once the leading cause of death in the United States. Although it can now be treated, tuberculosis is spreading again, often accompanying an HIV infection. This program shows how to avoid contact with airborne diseases and describes appropriate procedures for handling a suspect who may have tuberculosis, including wearing latex gloves, using a respirator and transporting any evidence in a biohazard bag for disposal.
