Catching Breath: The Making and Unmaking of Tuberculosis
Oxtoby MJ , Dufort EM . Emerg Infect Dis 2018 24 (5) 956 Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading infectious disease cause of death worldwide, yet many persons in industrialized countries think TB is mainly a historical curiosity or a rare disease only affecting a few uniquely vulnerable persons. This paradox is the inspiration for Kathryn Lougheed’s book, Catching Breath: The Making and Unmaking of Tuberculosis (Figure). After spending a decade at the bench exploring the mycobacterium as a microbiologist, the author embraced broader historical questions and embarked on a personal pilgrimage, as if learning about the disease for the first time. The result is, in her own words, a “whistle-stop tour through the past few million years to pick apart what has made TB ‘TB’.” |
