"Tuberculosis: A Silent Killer Unveiled" In the early 19th century, tuberculosis was a dreaded disease that plagued communities across the globe. Shotley Bridge General Hospital in County Durham and Highwood Hospital in Brentwood, Essex were among the institutions at the forefront of battling this deadly illness. Calots spinal surgery, a groundbreaking procedure developed in the 19th century, aimed to treat tuberculosis by removing infected tissue from patients' spines. This pioneering technique brought hope to countless individuals suffering from this debilitating condition. The discovery of X-ray technology revolutionized medical diagnostics and played a crucial role in identifying tuberculosis. The characteristic shadows on an X-ray image became synonymous with this infectious disease, aiding doctors in their diagnosis and treatment plans. Awareness campaigns like "Tuberculosis Don't kiss me. Your kiss of affection - the g" sought to educate people about how tuberculosis spreads through close contact.

Virginia Poe, wife of renowned poet Edgar Allan Poe, tragically succumbed to tuberculosis at a young age. Her story serves as a reminder of how this merciless disease spared no one's life or social status. Scientists diligently studied bacteria infecting macrophages under scanning electron microscopes (SEM) to gain insights into how they interacted with human cells during infection. These microscopic images provided valuable information for developing effective treatments against tuberculosis. Even popular figures like George H. Ruth (known as Babe Ruth), who enthralled millions with his baseball prowess during the early 20th century fell victim to tuberculosis. His battle against this illness shed light on its indiscriminate nature and impact on society as a whole. The Empire Hotel located in Lowestoft, Suffolk witnessed numerous cases throughout history due to its proximity to coastal areas where sea air was believed to have therapeutic effects for respiratory ailments such as TB. In 1833, Rev.
