Tuberculosis was a deadly disease till the advent of streptomycin in 1947. Then you had very good drugs invented for tuberculosis, one by one till late sixties. The disease became completely curable. But now you have drug resistance noted for tuberculosis also. With HIV infection in hand the problem has complicated with multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. In such cases you can have tuberculosis, deadly.
