Children with tuberculosis recovering at a sanatorium, 1918. Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that normally affects the lungs, but can also affect other body tissues. It was a widespread cause of disability and death before the use of a vaccine (from 1921) and antibiotics (from 1944). A sanatorium provided patients with rest and nutrition to strengthen the immune system and encourage recovery. Photographed at the Trudeau Sanatorium, near Paris, France.
