TB - curable but a long way to go.

[Rosie1958]

................ It's the Dickensian image of TB - "consumption" - belonging to the 19th century, which needs to change. The infection is a major public health problem of THIS century.

Thanks Doc Alan for an interesting post, I certainly wasn’t aware that TB is increasing here in the UK today. My own 2 x great grandmother died of "consumption" aged 29 in 1867 and as a result of her death, my great grandfather who was only 4 years old was brought up by my 3 x great grandparents. I had a TB inoculation when I was at school many moons ago and still have the scar to prove it. This awful disease has been about far too long.
