Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that can reemerge at any time.  There are so many factors that increase susceptibility to tuberculosis.  19^th century immigration to US tenements was one of these factors.  TB was romanticized from the ugly death it actually was.  The high population and the poor sanitary conditions created the perfect environment for it to bloom as it is transmissible by respiratory droplets. They had poor working conditions and were crowded into tenements.  The houses were dark, poorly ventilated, badly construct, poorly lit, and filthy.  Many people even lived with mud floors.  There were no windows in these living quarters until it was finally mandated.  The people lived with 30-40 people per room.  The stethoscope and skin test were invented to help determine if someone had tuberculosis.  They created sanatoriums for the treatment of patients with this disease as it provided rest and a healthy diet.  Contemporary factors of this disease was malnutrition, poverty, and the role of HIV.   The poor people could not afford the treatment of tuberculosis to stay in the sanatorium.  However, the death rate was the same to if you went to one or did not. Malnutrition and HIV caused you to be more immune to the disease as not being fed well and already having an infection weakened your immune system already. Leaving the people more susceptible to tuberculosis.

A factor that has led to resistant and extremely resistant tuberculosis is not taking the medicine correctly.  Without taking the medicine correctly the TB learns what the medicine is and builds immunity against it causing the medicine to no longer work against it. Also, causing tuberculosis to become stronger and more deadly.  The consequences of failure to diagnose and properly treat tuberculosis is death. It also causes tuberculosis to spread even more as it is spread in the air.  So now more people will have the disease and more people will die from it if the strand was resistant or if they fail to complete treatment/obtain treatment.  Tuberculosis will be around until we find a way to prevent and eradicate it.
