Tuberculosis
(gcide) | Tuberculosis \Tu*ber`cu*lo"sis\, n. [NL. See Tubercle.] (Med.)
A constitutional disease caused by infection with
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (also called the {Tubercle
bacillus}), characterized by the production of tubercles in
the internal organs, and especially in the lungs, where it
constitutes the most common variety of pulmonary phthisis
(consumption). The Mycobacteria are slow-growing and without
cell walls, and are thus not affected by the beta-lactam
antibiotics; treatment is difficult, usually requiring
simultaneous administration of multiple antibiotics to effect
a cure. Prior to availability of antibiotic treatment, the
cure required extensive rest, for which special sanatoriums
were constructed.

2. (Med.) A small mass or aggregation of morbid matter;
especially, the deposit which accompanies scrofula or
phthisis. This is composed of a hard, grayish, or

softens, and excites suppuration in its vicinity. It is

Tubercle bacillus (Med.), a minute vegetable organism
(Mycobacterium tuberculosis, formerly {Bacillus
tuberculosis}, and also called Koch's bacillus)
