This book, a report from the State Tuberculosis Commission of Connecticut, details the progress made in combating tuberculosis over two years in the early 20th century. Alongside historical details of the institutions involved, it delves into significant medical and scientific discussions on tuberculosis from the period, including the then-new vaccine by Calmette and Guerin. The authors also discuss the challenges of early diagnosis and the stigma associated with the disease, particularly for women. The book concludes with detailed recommendations to the General Assembly on appropriations for upgrading facilities, further research, and expansions to existing sanatoriums to accommodate the growing demand for treatment. The book is a fascinating snapshot of the state of tuberculosis treatment at the time. By providing context and expert medical insights, the authors present a multi-faceted view of the disease and its impact on society during that period.
