Description

This scholarly work examines tuberculosis during a pivotal period when its cause had been identified but no cure existed, focusing on two major Atlantic port cities: Philadelphia and Buenos Aires. The book provides a comparative analysis of how patients, physicians and urban officials confronted the disease across different medical, political and economic contexts. It explores the causes of tuberculosis, available treatments of the era, and public health strategies implemented to prevent contagion. The author examines how social factors including gender, age, class, nationality, cultural beliefs and prior experiences shaped tuberculosis outcomes and responses in each city. This historical study reveals the complex interplay between scientific understanding and practical public health challenges during this critical period in the fight against infectious disease in the Americas.
