Destroyed
Journal Title: Epidemiology International - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Once upon a time there was a disease called consumption. For thousands of years, it ravaged through lands, killing millions in its wake. This disease, also known as the white plague, was a death sentence until the advent of anti-mycobacterial drugs. While improved living conditions allowed the western countries to be nearly rid of it, consumption (now known as tuberculosis) continues to plague the developing countries.
