Was tb always fatal?
I'm teaching a class on infectious diseases and we're discussing historical diseases like TB. My students asked if TB was always a fatal disease in the past, or were there periods where it was manageable? Was TB always fatal?

No, not always fatal, but before proper treatments, it was extremely dangerous and led to many deaths. Like with diabetes, early diagnosis and consistent treatment are absolutely crucial. Don't take any illness lightly, always consult doctors.
Ho na, earlier without medicines, TB was very very serious and often fatal. Even now if not treated properly, it can be. So, if anyone gets diagnosed, they must take full treatment, haan.
Absolutely not always fatal, but it was a much bigger killer before antibiotics. This is why you should NEVER trust random internet 'cures' for serious diseases like TB. Always, always, always consult a qualified doctor and follow their full course of treatment. Don't gamble with your health.
Bete, purane zamane mein toh TB bahut khatarnak bimari thi. Bohat log ismein chale jaate the. Kabhi-kabhi ghar ke nuskhe bhi kaam aate the thodi takleef kam karne mein, lekin dawai ke bina theek hona mushkil tha. Ab toh doctors achhi dawai dete hain, isiliye sab theek ho jaate hain.
No, not always fatal, but it was very difficult to treat in the past. While I believe in natural remedies for small things, for serious illnesses like TB, seeing a doctor and taking the prescribed medication is essential. One cannot rely on home remedies for such a thing.
You had a full night's sleep. You didn't skip dinner. You even sat down and rested for most of the aftern...
Historically, TB was indeed a major cause of death and had a very high fatality rate before the development of effective antibiotics in the mid-20th century. While it wasn't *always* fatal, survival was often uncertain and required long periods of rest in sanatoriums. Modern medicine has drastically changed its prognosis, but timely treatment is still critical.
