Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, the product of decades of research and analysis, delves into the question of whether consumption, the often fatal disease we now know as tuberculosis, is contagious. For centuries, many physicians have maintained that consumption was spread between people who came into close contact, while others have vehemently denied it. The author, an accomplished MD, presents both sides of the argument and examines the historical, anecdotal, and scientific evidence for and against regarding consumption as contagious. It becomes clear that we cannot generalize about the disease and that it can be spread in some circumstances while in others, it is not. This book is an indispensable tool for anyone interested in learning more about consumption, its causes, and its historical treatment.
