The History of Tuberculosis


The History of Tuberculosis?
I am doing a research assignment for biology, on bacterial diseases, and I have chosen to study Tuberculosis. I am having trouble finding the last bit of information I need. I am required to have historical significances of the disease. Does anyone have any interesting facts or important historical events involving tuberculosis? If so, please include a reference; as I need to reference my sources for my assignment. Thank you in advance.

Ok. So im from Colorado were the houses are really old. And Back in the 1800 or so when they were building these houses, they would build a smaller House( kinda like a garage) in the back for the family members who had caught Tb. That is were they lived and in most cases dies. They were not aloud into the larger house with the rest of the family cause they could spread it. I found an article that tells how Tb changed the way houses were built and how they changed the "slum". check it out. iuts pretty cool.m Good luck. here is the link. http://library.thinkquest.org/C0126375/tb_in_the_world.htm
