Produktbeschreibung

For many idiopathic diseases, the etiologies become clear when certain techniques are applied to the patient's blood or other tissues. This volume describes these techniques, examining a plethora of issues and highlighting significant aspects of microbiology, which tend to go unrecognized in the clinical laboratory. In the case of tuberculosis, a disease that has recently regained importance because the strains have acquired antibiotic resistance, the book describes a method widely used abroad that typically renders the diagnosis within 72 hours.
