Why is it called tuberculosis?

  In the “Preparedness and Emergency Thousand Gold Formula”, there is “this disease is born outside the skin and membrane, and the nodules are nuclei, firm but not painful”, which is equivalent to lymphadenitis, or lymphatic tuberculosis and some subcutaneous swellings and other diseases. Since the beginning of mankind, there has been tuberculosis, commonly known as consumption, and the accumulation of fatigue as consumption.  In ancient times, it was called “consumption disease” in the West. In 1650, the French scholar Sylvins performed autopsies on patients with consumption and found granular lesions in the lungs and other organs. Since then, the name “tuberculosis” has been used to this day.  Modern medicine reveals that tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (a mycobacterium that is acid-resistant, so it is called acid-resistant mycobacterium). Tuberculosis bacteria can invade various organs of the human body, but mainly invade the lungs, called pulmonary tuberculosis, which is more dangerous, and some even have cavities while the conscious symptoms are still very mild, and open tuberculosis patients mostly live with normal people, increasing the chances of covert transmission in the population, causing the prevalence of tuberculosis in the population and difficult to control, which is the focus of tuberculosis prevention and treatment.  As far as human beings are concerned, they are generally susceptible to the tuberculosis bacillus, and currently more than one person worldwide is infected with the bacillus every second, while China is a highly endemic area, and tuberculosis has once again become a major killer of human beings.
