This is a timeline of tuberculosis, describing especially major discoveries, advances in treatment and major organizations.
Contents
Big picture
Year/period | Key developments |
---|---|
Ancient times | Typical skeletal abnormalities of tuberculosis, including characteristic Pott's deformities, are found in Egyptian mummies and are depicted in early Egyptian art. Tuberculosis is also noted in the Biblical books of Deuteronomy and Leviticus. Written texts describe tuberculosis in India as early as 3300 years ago and in China 2300 years ago. Tuberculosis is well known in classical Greece, where it is called phthisis.[1][2] |
Middle Ages and Renaissance | The incidence of tuberculosis grows progressively in these times, displacing leprosy, peaking between the 18th and 19th century as field workers move to the cities looking for work.[3] In parts of Europe, tuberculosis is known as the “king’s evil” and is widely believed that the kings of England and France can cure scrofula simply by touching those affected.[4] |
1700s–1800s | Description of tuberculosis is developed in medical literature. TB is identified as a single disease in the 1820s.[5] sanatoria start to open for treating patients, with often successful outcomes. Understanding of the pathogenesis of tuberculosis begins with the works of Laennec, Villemin and the identification of the tubercle bacillus as the etiologic agent by Robert Koch. |
1920s–1930s | The International Union Against Tuberculosis (IUAT) is founded. BCG vaccine against tuberculosis is developed. Several international conferences are held, focusing on the fundamental, biological, clinical and social aspects of tuberculosis.[6] |
1940s onward | The isolation of streptomycin is generally considered the beginning of the modern era of tuberculosis. The revolution continues with the development of isoniazid, the first oral mycobactericidal drug. The advent of rifampin in the 1970s hastens recovery times, and significantly reduces the number of tuberculosis cases in the following years.[7][8] |
1980s onward | Tuberculosis drug-resistant strains appear, provoking a rise in incidence in countries like Britain. Also, the association with AIDS has contributed to the rise of tuberculosis in some sectors.[9] |
Present | Today, tuberculosis continues to be a top infectious disease killer worldwide. However, the death rate has dropped 47% since 1990. Over 95% of cases and deaths are in developing countries, with the most severe burden in Africa.[10] At least 1 million children fall ill with tuberculosis each year, represent about 11% of all cases.[11] |
Full timeline
Year/period | Type of event | Event | Location |
---|---|---|---|
1689 | Scientific development | English physician Richard Morton first states that tubercles are always present in the tuberculosis disease of the lungs.[12] | England |
1761 | Medical development (diagnosis) | Austrian physician Leopold Auenbrugger develops a percussion method for diagnosing tuberculosis.[13] | |
1768 | Scientific development | Scottish physician Robert Whytt gives the first clinical description of tuberculous meningitis.[14] | |
1770 | MEdical development (reatment) | Cod liver oil, rich in vitamin D, is first advocated for the treatment of tuberculosis.[15] Derived from liver of cod fish (Gadidae), today it is a dietary supplement. | |
1779 | Scientific development | English surgeon Percivall Pott first describes the arthritic tuberculosis of the spine (today known as Pott disease).[16] | |
1810 | Scientific development | French physician Gaspard Laurent Bayle publishes his article Recherches sur la Pthisie Pulmonaire, in which he divides phthisis into six types: tubercular phthisis, glandular phthisis, ulcerous phthisis, phthisis with melanosis, calculous phthisis, and cancerous phthisis, basing his findings on more than 900 autopsies.[17] | |
1816 | Scientific development | French physician René Laennec, working at the Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital, develops the stethoscope, which proves to be a breakthrough. The stethoscope marks a major step in the redefinition of disease from being a bundle of symptoms, to the current sense of a disease as a problem with an anatomical system even if there are no noticeable symptoms. The work of Laennec is considered to have clearly elucidated the pathogenesis of tuberculosis and unified the concept of the disease, whether pulmonary or extrapulmonary.[18][19] | Paris, France |
1839 | Scientific development | German naturalist Johann Lukas Schönlein is attributed with naming the disease tuberculosis.[20] | |
1854 | Organization | Hermann Brehmer establishes the first German sanatorium for the systematic open-air treatment of tuberculosis, with treatment including adjusting lifestyle at high altitude, abundant diet with some alcohol, and exercise in the open air under strict medical supervision. The results are eventually regarded as highly successful, surpassing any previous treatment.[21] | Strehlen, Prussia |
1865 | Scientific development | French physician Jean Antoine Villemin demonstrates of the transmissibility of mycobacterium tuberculosis.[2] | France |
1882 | Scientific development | German physician Robert Koch, the founder of modern bacteriology, identifies the tubercle bacillus as the etiologic agent that causes tuberculosis. Some years later, Koch develops what today is known as Koch's postulates, which he applies to describe the etiology of cholera and tuberculosis. Koch is also attributed for having created and improved laboratory technologies and techniques in the field of microbiology, and making key discoveries in public health. Koch receives the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1905.[2] | |
1890 | Scientific development | Hungarian physiologist Franz Tangl publishes what later becomes known as Baumgarten-Tangl law, stating that the location where the bacteria intrudes is the one where the inflammation can be observed first.[22] | |
1900 | Scientific development | French bacteriologists Albert Calmette and Camille Guérin begin research for an antituberculosis vaccine at the Pasteur Institute.[23] | Lille, France |
1903 | Organization | American entrepreneur Henry Phipps, Jr. founds the Phipps Institute for the Study, Treatment and Prevention of Tuberculosis at the University of Pennsylvania.[24] | Philadelphia, US |

1908 | Medical development (diagnosis) | French physician Charles Mantoux, perfects test for diagnosis of tuberculosis contact (latent tuberculosis).[27] | |
1909 | Organization | American philanthropist Nathan Straus opens the first preventorium for patients infected with tuberculosis.[28] | |

1925 | Medical development (diagnosis) | Chest radiology starts playing diagnostic role in detecting deep-seated areas of tuberculosis consolidation.[5] | |
1930 | Crisis | Lübeck disaster. 250 newborn babies are given doses of BCG contaminated by virulent tubercle bacilli. After four to six weeks a large number of the infants develop tuberculosis. 73 babies die in the first year and another 135 are infected but finally recover.[23] | Lübeck, Germany |
1932 | Medical development (diagnosis) | The Löwenstein–Jensen medium is developed as diagnosis for tuberculosis. It is used for culture of Mycobacterium species, notably Mycobacterium tuberculosis.[29] | |
1936 | Medical development (diagnosis) | Brazilian physician Manuel de Abreu develops chest photofluorography, a technique for mass screening for tuberculosis.[30] | Rio de Janeiro, Brazil |
1944 | Medical development (treatment) | Swedish chemist Jörgen Lehmann develops antibiotic 4-Aminosalicylic acid for treating tuberculosis.[31] | |
1944 | Medical development (drug) | Albert Schatz, Elizabeth Bugie, and Selman Waksman at Rutgers University isolate streptomycin, the first antibiotic and first bacterial agent effective against tuberculosis.[32] | New Jersey, US |
1945 | Medical development (diagnosis) | The capability of chest radiology is enhanced to embody the MMR (mass miniature radiography) version.[5] | |
1946–1948 | Medical development (treatment) | The first randomized trial of streptomycin against pulmonary tuberculosis is carried out.[33][34] | United States |
1948 | Medical development (treatment) | Researchers at Britain's Medical Research Council demonstrate that combined treatment with streptomycin and 4-Aminosalicylic acid is superior to either drug alone.[35] | UK |
1950 | Campaign | Mass tuberculosis immunization is under way with the BCG vaccine. This vaccine is recommended to be given intradermally, immediately after birth. This vaccine is mandatory to attend school in France between 1950 and 2007, introduced in Brazil in 1967, and to the Philippines in 1979.[36][37][38] | |
1952 | Medical development (drug) | Isoniazid is first introduced in clinical treatment for tuberculosis.[2][39] | |
