Robert Koch discovered 1882 a microscopic way to see Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. After his discovery the treatment for the condition began to develop. Nutritional diets, rest and improved environment were the targets of sanatoriums appeared all over Europe and America; these institutes offered a healthy atmosphere for the patients and also isolated them from the healthy population.
The hope for a treatment increased when the Italian physician Forlanini quoted that a pulmonary collapse might improve the condition. Therapeutic pneumothorax began to be induced and surgical methods were found to decrease the volume of the lungs.
Another step forward was Roentgen’s discovery of the X-rays that permitted the dynamic observation of the evolution of Tuberculosis and the caused lesions in the lungs.
