Everything is tuberculosis : the history and persistence of our deadliest infection / by Green, John,1977-author.;: Includes bibliographical references."Tuberculosis has been entwined with humanity for millennia.

John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile.

In Everything is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry's story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world -- and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis"--; Subjects: Biographies.; Personal narratives.; Reider, Henry; Tuberculosis in children; Tuberculosis.; Tuberculosis; Tuberculosis; Tuberculosis; Tuberculosis; Tuberculosis;; Available copies: 0 / Total copies: 1; unAPI
