Rad Magazine May 2000
Book Review:By Dr A.K. Banerjee, Consultant Radiologist, Birmingham Heartlands Hospital

Rad Magazine May 2000 "Admirable reference on this ubiquitous disease is recommended reading"

Tuberculosis is a disease as old as civilisation itself.The disease has been subject to much investigation and numerous monographs and articles have been written about tuberculosis over the years.Most of the writing has naturally concentrated on the epidermiology and diagnostic features of the disease as well as, of course, its treatment.The radiology literature has also been voluminous on the subject of tuberculosis, especially so regarding the respiratory manifestations of the disease.

This current volume, however, concentrates on the non-pulmonary aspects of tuberculosis with an emphasis on the diagnostic imaging aspects of this disease.

The book is divided into sections dealing with intracranial tuberculosis, tuberculosis of the bones and joints, tuberculosis of the gastrointestinal system and the genito-urinary tract.There is a section on extra-pulmonary tuberculosis seen in acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome.In addition, there is a section on tuberculosis in the paediatric age group.

The author has amassed a wealth of clinical material and acknowledges the help of doctors in Saudi Arabia and other hospitals from where much of the clinical material has been obtained.The images are of good quality and the chapters are extensively referenced.It is a delight to read the text and the comprehensive reference list makes this an excellent reference guide for the radiologists who encounter this subject.

Nearly all the aspects of non-pulmonary tuberculosis are covered in quite extensive depth and I have found this book a valuable read.I cannot praise this volume highly enough.The author has set out to increase the awareness of the many clinical patterns of non-pulmonary tuberculosis and has succeeded admirably in this task.It is a statuary reminder that the only thing to expect in tuberculosis is the unexpected and this is magnificently illustrated in this monograph.

In my clinical radiological practice in Birmingham, I am often reminded of the protean manifestations of this fairly ubiquitous disease.I would recommend all radiology trainees and consultant radiologists read this textbook.Dr Francis McGuinness and his colleagues should be congratulated on this brilliant addition to radiological literature. ...

An overview of the radiologic manifestations of tuberculosis in most of the skeletal bones and joints is given in this book.
