WHAT DOES PHTHISIS MEAN IN GERMAN?

tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is a globally spread bacterial infection disease caused by various types of mycobacteria and most commonly affecting the lungs in humans. It provides the worldwide statistics on fatal infections. In 2012, about 1,3 million people died of the infectious disease of tuberculosis after the 2013 global tuberculosis report of the World Health Organization, of which 320,000 were additionally HIV-positive. In Germany it is most frequently caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, more rarely - in descending order - by Mycobacterium bovis, Mycobacterium africanum or Mycobacterium microti. A milestone in the medication history was the description of the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 1882 by Robert Koch. Tuberculosis is therefore also called Koch's disease. The name Schwindschucht and the colloquial term the moths are now obsolete.
