Children being weighed at a Red Cross tuberculosis camp, California, USA, 1920. This summer camp for children with tuberculosis was run by the Red Cross, local public health authorities and the Tuberculosis Association.

It was a widespread cause of disability and death before the use of a vaccine (from 1921) and antibiotics (from 1944).
