Features of Coping Behavior of Tuberculosis Patients

Abstract

The bloodiest war has not claimed as many lives as tuberculosis. For many centuries it has accompanied humanity. Modern methods of genetic diagnosis revealed traces of tuberculosis in mummies of Egyptian pharaohs. Pulmonary tuberculosis is an infectious disease, the causative agent of which is Mycobacterium tuberculosis or Koch’s wand. Even now, with modern advances in medicine, patients die from this disease.
