Visit ""Tuberculosis in the Renaissance,"" where scientific and cultural revival change perspectives, and ""The Industrial Revolution and the White Plague,"" which explores the complex relationship between industry and tuberculosis.

""The Sanatorium Era"" shows how specialized facilities became sanctuaries and battlegrounds for tuberculosis, while ""The Antibiotic Revolution"" marks a turning point with life-saving drugs.
