Recensioner i media

"This 75-page book is a concise treatise on the laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis. ... If you want a quick read to get up to speed on current practice, this is the book to get. If you already have a basic foundation of knowledge in how to diagnose tuberculosis, this book will likely be too simplistic and superficial for you." (Valerie L. Ng, Doody's Book Reviews, December, 2015)
