Features: Preventing tuberculosis, primarily carrying out a series of prevention and control measures centered on controlling the source of infection. Especially since the success of chemotherapy around the 1960s of this century, the fight against tuberculosis has undergone significant changes, and chemotherapy has become the most effective means of controlling infection and curing the disease. Of course, implementing these measures requires attention from leaders at all levels and the efforts of healthcare institutions, as well as popularizing tuberculosis knowledge to enable the public to fight the disease with the power of knowledge. Unfortunately, a considerable number of people still lack prevention and control knowledge, failing to prevent and treat the disease in a timely and effective manner, which leads to the spread and transmission of the disease. This book introduces readers to the causes of tuberculosis, its development process, examination and detection methods, treatment and prevention measures, as well as the correct attitude toward the disease. It is hoped that these contents will help readers understand and master relevant knowledge about tuberculosis, further recognizing the harm of the disease and the importance of prevention and control work.
