Progress obtained by mycobacteriology in recent years is undeniable with regards to preventing, detecting, and treating cases of tuberculosis, millennial disease that is still present as public health issue worldwide. We present here high-impact research and interest topics related to the application of new methodologies, especially molecular methods for rapid diagnostic such as rapid DST, application of high performance liquid chromatography, molecular epidemiology and molecular diagnostic testing on post mortem. Currently, the constant search for vaccines that prevent the disease is promising through research of the immune response generated by the host towards the bacterium, and the effectiveness that may be achieved from developed vaccines. Another high-impact factor is the one generated by considering tuberculosis as a social disease with an infectious component reflected in research about tuberculosis and human rights. Finally, we present important issues of the pathogen interaction with different hosts. The constant knowledge generation that expands the frontiers of understanding is a key factor for finding solutions and successful activities for public health.

This is the 8th WHO annual report on global tuberculosis control. It includes data on case notifications and treatment outcomes from the 201 national TB control programmes (NTPs) that reported to WHO for 2002, together with an analysis of plans, budgets, expenditures, and constraints on DOTS expansion for 22 high-burden countries (HBCs). Nine consecutive years of data are used to assess progress towards the 2005 global targets for case detection (70%) and treatment success (85%).

Il a fallu beaucoup de temps, malgre les observations des premiers contagionistes au xviiie siecle, malgre les intuitions de Villemin et d'autres medecins au xixe siecle, malgre les decouvertes de Koch en 1882 et malgre tous les progres de la bacteriologie au tournant du xxe siecle, avant que la tuberculose en vienne à être reconnue pour ce qu'elle est, une maladie infectieuse et contagieuse. Cet ouvrage montre combien les croyances ont balise l'histoire de cette maladie du xviiie jusqu'au xxe siecle, et combien certaines s'enracinent loin dans le temps. Même au xxe siecle, les resistances à la theorie de la contagion ont ete variees et tenaces. Dans cette histoire de la tuberculose au Quebec, l'auteur relate l'evolution des representations de cette maladie et des façons dont la medecine et les autorites publiques y ont fait face.

One of the most extraordinary characteristics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is its capacity to remain within the host's tissues for a long period of time. There is an enormous reservoir of persons latently infected with tuberculosis (LTBI) estimated at about a third of the world's population. From this reservoir arise about 10 million new cases of active TB and more than two million deaths occur annually. Current Diagnosis of Infant Tuberculosis Infection covers problems concerning the diagnosis of LTBI, giving an overview of commercially available options and, unlike most reviews on
