The impact of tuberculosis on civilization
Abstract
Tuberculosis is an ancient disease that has spread in epidemic form among susceptible peoples but has had a little demographic or political impact on the populations it has inflicted. The disease continues to have a large economic impact on societies in which it is prevalent. Tuberculosis has left its mark on human creativity; on the lives of individuals in music, art, and literature; and dramatically on the advance of biomedical science and healthcare.
