Description:
|
Although one of the world’s deadliest diseases, tuberculosis today is confined to a small group of countries, including Tanzania. This book chronicles tuberculosis treatment at a specialized hospital from colonial to postcolonial times, and from the days when surgery and fresh air were common treatments to more recent times of chemotherapies and the HIV/tuberculosis coepidemic.
