Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a disease that is transmitted through aerosol. This is the reason why it is estimated that a third of humankind is already infected by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The vast majority of the infected do not know about their status. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a silent pathogen, causing no symptomatology at all during the infection. In addition, infected people cannot cause further infections. Unfortunately, an estimated 10 per cent of the infected population has the probability to develop the disease, making it very difficult to eradicate. Once in this stage, the bacilli can be transmitted to other persons and the development of clinical symptoms is very progressive. Therefore the diagnosis, especially the discrimination between infection and disease, is a real challenge. In this book, we present the experience of worldwide specialists on the diagnosis, along with its lights and shadows.

O processo de judicialização é um acontecimento contemporâneo, compreendido enquanto um mecanismo pelo qual o poder Judiciário tem ganhado relevância frente aos poderes Legislativos e Executivos, sendo solicitado por diversos atores sociais para interceder no cotidiano. Não obstante, esse processo deságua também diante das políticas públicas, sobretudo a partir Constituição Federal de 1988 na produção de sujeitos de direitos. No entanto, essa intromissão do judiciário também incide quando está em pauta a proteção de crianças e adolescentes. Esta obra propôs analisar as práticas que emergem diante do processo de judicialização no Sistema Único de Assistência Social...
