“Pre – Tuberculosis”
• It was believed that TB usually began in
childhood as a condition known as pretuberculosis
and that certain populations of
children were especially susceptible – those
from the slum districts of the big cities
• For the most part the children were not
suffering from actual tuberculosis
• If these children could be reached then
perhaps the prevalence of the disease could
be dramatically reduced
