Sanatorium treatment of tuberculosis at the beginning (lessons of the past)

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The article is devoted to the initial stages of the development of a tuberculosis sanatorium as the main medical institution for the treatment of tuberculosis patients at the beginning of the 20th century both abroad and in Russia. The starting points are Thomas Mann’s novel «The Magic Mountain» (1924) and a review of this novel by B.P. Levenshtein (1929). It is important to note that neither before nor after «The Magic Mountain» was such a detailed literary «study» of various aspects of the lives of tuberculosis patients published. Undoubtedly, reading T. Mann’s novel «The Magic Mountain» will be useful for both a novice phthisiatrician and an experienced specialist.
