Tuberculosis, also know as TB, has been one of the world's most common and deadliest diseases. It is said that TB existed since human antiquity. It is characterized by chest pain, fevers, easily fatigued and coughing up blood. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacillus of TB, was identified by Dr. Robert Koch in 1882. He later received the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1905 for this discovery. The first vaccine for TB was first developed at the Pasteur Institute in France between 1905 and 1921.I think this discovery has saved many humans from dying from TB. If we did not find the cure for TB, we would still be having trouble to how to treat TB.
