Recenzii

“This 75-page book is a concise treatise on thelaboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis. … If you want a quick read to get up tospeed on current practice, this is the book to get. If you already have a basicfoundation of knowledge in how to diagnose tuberculosis, this book will likelybe too simplistic and superficial for you.” (Valerie L. Ng, Doody’s BookReviews, December, 2015)
