From the reviews: The New England Journal of Medicine (USA) November 04, 2004: "..The strenght of the book is in its detailed look at the pathology and clinical aspects of tuberculosis on an organ-by-organ basis. Of its 50 chapters, 32 are devoted to the clinical, pathological, and treatment-related aspects of tuberculosis and provide many helpful diagrams, photographs of clinical specimens, and radiographs...this book is an adition to the several comprehensive textbooks on the clinical manifestaions of tuberculosis and may be of value to clinicians with a particular interest in the disease." "The international orientation of the book gives it an interesting point of view in the discussion of the historical aspects of tuberculosis. … The strength of the book is in its detailed look at the pathology and clinical aspects … . Included are extensive diagnostic images … . The book also delves into the global epidemiology of tuberculosis, diagnostic methods, and molecular epidemiology of the disease. … Comprehensive in its scope, this book … of value to clinicians with a particular interest in the disease." (Renée Ridzon, N Engl J Med, 2004) "..this is the definitive textbook on all aspects of tuberculosis.. In spite of the varied authors, coverage of each topic is clinically oriented and excellent. The illustrations in the clinical section are supberb and are of great value to those who do not have an extensive TB experience... it is, in my view, the most comprehensicve and most clinically relevant book available on tuberculosis. ..most extensive reference encyclopedic text. ...should be in every medical library...(B.A. Cunha, IDP-Infectious Disease Practice for Clinicians, 2005 August-Sept., p. 437) "This is the definitive textbook on all aspects of tuberculosis … . coverage of each topic is clinically oriented and excellent.

(Renée Ridzon, The New England Journal of Medicine, Issue 4, 2004) "Dr. Madkour presents a very thorough and complex textbook on tuberculosis, which is the most prevalent of all bacterial infections, existing … in a third of the world’s population. … The rich clinical material provided in the book is based on a wealth of experience from some of the world’s most distinguished medical scientists. … the present book provides an excellent overview on tuberculosis and is an ideal reference book for epidemiologists, scientists, clinicians, health care planners and international organizations who deal with infectious disease."
