Klappentext zu „Childhood Tuberculosis: Modern Imaging and Clinical Concepts “
In 1967 Dr Bryan Cremin arrived in South Africa to head the Department of Diagnostic Radiology at the Red Cross Children's Hospital, and became the first specialist paediatric ra diologist on the faculty ofthe UniversityofCape Town. Now, in 1994, Professor Cremin is in ternationally recognised, and, just before his retirement, has, with the support of his colleagues, summarised his 27 years ofexperience oftuberculosis in southern Africa. Tuberculosis is an extraordinary infection - ancient, gaining a sinister reputation and at times occurring in disastrous epidemics. By affecting both princes and poets, children and the aged, it has altered the course ofhistory. But, the effects aside, the methods which have been used to treat tuberculosis over the centuries are as remarkable as any in the folklore of medicine. Even in the relatively short period in which radiography has been available, treat ment has been, by today's standards, somewhat unusual. For example, it was deemed impor tant to "rest" the diseased lung and to collapse any tuberculous cavity. Lacking CT-, MRI- or ultra-sound techniques, radiologists were nevertheless expert at recognising wax or dental compound which had been blindly injected into a cavity, and in distinguishing ping-pong balls in the pleural space from a pneumothorax with adhesions.
Tuberculosis kills more than three million people a year. These are mostly in Asia and Africa but there are an increasing number of cases in the Western world, particularly among children. This book reviews the primary causes and secondary complications caused by tuberculosis in the young. Emphasis is placed on the contribution made by modern imaging techniques which have supplemented conventional radiology in clinical evaluation.The authors draw on their extensive experience of cases in Africa to guide clinicians worldwide in dealing with this problem.
