What is the 2nd name of TB

[IdeaGenius]

I'm looking for some help regarding the second name of TB. I know that TB is an abbreviation of Tuberculosis, but I'm not sure what else it stands for. Does anyone know what the second name of TB is, or can provide any other helpful information on this subject? Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious bacterial infection that can be spread through the air when a person with TB of the lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, or talks. TB is a contagious disease and can be spread to others even when the person is not showing any symptoms. It is estimated that 1.7 billion people are infected with TB worldwide. The second name of TB is "consumption," a term used in the past to describe the wasting away of the body that is caused by the infection.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is also known as consumption, as it was once a major cause of death in the 19th and early 20th centuries. TB is often referred to as the "White Plague" because of the white spots that appear on the skin and in the lungs of those infected. This is due to the bacteria's ability to form a protective coating around itself, making it difficult for the body's immune system to fight off. TB is still a major public health issue in many parts of the world, and it is estimated that 10 million people become infected each year.
