"Tuberculosis has been known under a variety of names during the course of history. It has often been a difficult disease to diagnose and has been confused with many other diseases. The actual name "Tuberculosis" was introduced during the first half of the nineteenth century and it refers to the diseased condition caused by infectious agents known as tuberculosis bacteria or tubercle bacilli. The disease has been also known under other names, such as phthisis, Scrofula, tabes, bronchitis, and inflammation of the lungs, hectic fever, gastric fever, and lupus. It was also known as the great white plague or "consumption". The word consumption is employed in the Bible to translate Schachepheth, which is also the Modern Hebrew word tuberculosis. Although tuberculosis can attack the whole body it is frequently known more for its damage to the lungs."
