tuberculosis

Description

Tuberculosis is a classical respiratory malady that serves as a mirror to societal pathologies. With its elegant symptoms of weight loss and cough, it seduces onlookers even as it relentlessly turns life’s hourglass. The louder the calls for prevention, the more it quietly thrives—a truly ironic companion.
