  Tuberculosis has been present in humans since antiquity. 
  This wide-spread disease has plagued history as far back 
  as 4000 BC. Skeletal remains show prehistoric humans had 
  TB, and tubercular decay has been found in the spines of 
  mummies from 3000-2400 BC. Though this deadly disease may 
  have traumatic connotations that infected hordes of people
  dating back to the early 1900's, today it is on the comeback 
  trail with a wicked vengeance infecting up to one-third of the 
  world's population. In 1905, Robert Koch, German microbiologist 
  and researcher, received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for the 
  discovery of the tubercle bacillus. We will journey through 
  the successes and failures of a man whose legacy has impacted 
  microbiology and infectious diseases to this day. The optimism 
  in 1982 that tuberculosis would be eradicated by 2010 is no 
  closer to reality than Koch's announcement in 1882 that he had 
  found the cure. The onset of AIDS and the evolution of multi-drug 
  resistant strains of the tubercle bacillus has, in many cases, 
  returned us to the days of when supportive measures in 
  sanatoriums was the only treatment.
