Tuberculosis (TB) has a long history. Regarding terminology, TB has, roughly speaking, three stages. These are, PHTHISIS, CONSUMPTION and TUBERCULOSIS. Each stage has its own meanings and characteristics. In the second stage consumption, TB was thought to be responsible for the patients' beauty and creativity. This kind of romanticization can be seen both in the West and East, not only in literature but also in paintings.
