Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is an ancient disease. It has been found in the spines of Egyptian mummies. Drawings of persons with Potts’s disease have been found on the walls of Egyptian tombs. Hippocrates (460-370 B.C.) called the disease „phthisis,“ and Varro (116-28 B.C.) conceived the notion that organisms too small to be seen by the naked eye might be causing the disease.
