    Description
    Tuberculosis is likely to remain a major health problem in developing countries as long as communities face poor housing, overcrowding and poor nutrition. Many countries have national tuberculosis control programmes, but these are seldom as effective as they could be because of difficulties in the implementation at village level. This book combines the most recent developments in the scientific understanding of tuberculosis with the realities of working at the level of a primary health centre and suggests ways of improving the efficiency of tuberculosis control programmes by an increased understanding of the importance of the sputum-positive patient as the source of transmission and therefore the target of control.

    Export search results

    The export button (to the right?) will allow you to export the search results of the entered query to a CSV file. To export the items, click the "Export" button.

    There are two options to select the items you want to export to a CSV. Either you export all results from a search query, or you select a subset of items from the search results.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" in the Export menu.

    After making a selection, click the 'CSV' button. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to 'CSV'.

    The amount of items you can export is limited, but authenticating will increase this limit.
