Cure & TB Today


Cure
In 1946, TB found the cure it needed with the development of antibiotics. During the 1900's, mainly that of antibiotic streptomycin was used to cure patients.

Where is TB today?
In 1980 consumption resurfaced with a vengeance. Unfortunately, present forms of TB have shown different symptoms as well as forms that are not being cured with today’s antibiotics. The disease is forming a tolerance for antibiotics and in turnto spread and individuals that are affected are kept quarantined to avoid spreading, as it killed so many in the 1900's.
