Review :
On the second edition:
'as an up-to-date, authoritative, comprehensive, and fully referenced account of tuberculosis, this book is unrivalled'
The Lancet

This third edition of Clinical Tuberculosis is a timely arrival...its scope is wide and the book's title hardly does it justice. It deserves a place in every medical library and on the desk of every specialist in tuberculosis.
Chronic Respiratory Disease

this book does a very good job of presenting up-to-date information and opinion on all the main aspects of clinical tuberculosis. In the main, this is done in a concise and readable manner. It is essential reading and a handy reference work for all health-care professionals interested in tuberculosis.
