Abstract

From text: The rationale for studying tuberculosis (TB) in a multidisciplinary manner is to be found in both the complex nature of the TB phenomenon and the magnitude of the TB problem. TB is caused, spread and sustained by various factors. To control the epidemic this multiplicity of factors has to be unravelled and coherently addressed.
