[177]-233) and index. - Offers an in-depth look at the history of tuberculosis control in the antibiotic era, arguing that the new antibiotic drugs, rather than being a simple panacea, actually highlighted the complex social problems that continued to predispose people to tuberculosis and interfere with its treatment. Uses Seattle's Firland Sanatorium as a case study, looking into the surprisingly recent use of forcible detention of tuberculosis patients whose behavior presented a public health threat.

Über diesen Titel
"Lerner presents a fascinating and well-written history of a critical public policy issue. His lucid review of the detention of tuberculosis patients reveals the perils of well-intentioned social reform, and is particularly relevant in today's context of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases." -- Thomas R. Frieden, M.D., M.P.H., Supervisory Medical Officer, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Former Director, Tuberculosis Control, New York City Department of Health
