SYNOPSIS
Tuberculosis has been entwined with humanity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it.
In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, preventable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year.
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.

REVIEWS
A pandemia silenciosa
Luís F.
A tuberculose afecta um terço da população mundial. É o agente infeccioso que nos acompanha há mais tempo. Já cá estava antes das outras pandemias, e cá continua depois de erradicadas aquelas. Não sendo de crescimento particularmente agressivo, é causa frequente de infecção latente que facilita a sua transmissão. O seu tratamento é uma desafio devido à elevada taxa de resistência aos antibióticos, e é responsável por cerca de dois milhões de mortes anualmente. Se se pergunta porque não ouve então falar mais de tuberculose no domínio público, comece por ler este livro! É um de muitos desejáveis pequenos passos para aumentar a consciência global sobre esta doença.
