Essentials of Tuberculosis in Children 5th Edition

The Essentials of Tuberculosis in Children 5th Edition, a revised and updated text, gives doctors a full picture of TB in children, including its epidemiology, microbiology, immunopathogenesis, pathology, clinical spectrum, laboratory and radiodiagnosis, therapy, prevention, and control. Its 7 divisions are broken up into 44 chapters, and the additional material includes a number of chapters written by experts in the subject.  

The Essentials of Tuberculosis in Children 5th Edition is all about how to treat tuberculosis. The chapters on antituberculosis drugs have been completely rewritten and updated to help readers understand the different regimens that are used for HIV/TB coinfection and MDR-TB. A literature study was done to get updated information on the pharmacokinetics of all antituberculosis drugs. 

A new chapter was also added to talk about knowledge gaps and DOTS' expertise in pediatric care. It will be much easier for physicians to produce high-quality scientific projects on TB in children and to receive research grants from funding organizations if they have access to chapters on research priorities and ethics involved in clinical trials. 

The specifics of setting up a TB/HIV clinic for children have been laid out in a dedicated chapter, complete with case record forms and instructions for the medical students and residents who will be working toward this purpose. Here is a quick reference to the various sections of the document in Essentials of Tuberculosis in Children.
