5 TB Notifications in England & Wales

6 Where did TB come from and why is it going away?

7

8 Phthisis was the most considerable of the diseases which then prevailed and the only one which proved fatal to many persons. Hippocrates Book I, Of the Epidemics

9 Pleural adhesions from chronic infection 6-8 year old girl, Thebes, BC

10

11 Vac tomb, Hungary, 1808 Mummified body 36 year old man Died after haemorrhage from mouth Microscopic appearance of chest material Strongly PCR+ for M tuberculosis

17

18 Where did M tuberculosis come from? Co-evolution of pre-mtb from soil with early hominids (2-3 million years) Mycobacterium prototuberculosis = Most recent common ancestor Evolutionary bottleneck 20-40,000 y ago Sequence data show it was located in E Africa

19

20 Human origins and civilisation Hunter gatherers => bottleneck for highly virulent pathogens Neolithic society (10,000 years ago) => Settled agriculture Denser population Ecological disruption (cultivation) Economic and political inequality Nutritional narrowing

23 TB caused 1 in 4 of all deaths in C18th and early C19th

24 TB caused 1 in 4 of all deaths in C18th and early C19th

25 Changing incidence: 1850 to 1910 Death rates for tuberculosis per million per annum, left hand scale (dots) and all causes per million, right hand scale (squares), for England and Wales.

26 Changing incidence: 1850 to 1910 TB rates have fallen steadily since 1850 Improvements in social conditions: poverty and overcrowding? Comparison of social factors with tuberculosis and other diseases of poverty (cholera, dysentery, infant mortality) Registrar Generals Annual Reports Mortality statistics: 3 notifiable diseases Census data: housing & size of resident population Statistics: average real earnings

30 Changing incidence: 1850 to 1910 Death rates for infants per 1000 live births, left hand scale (dots), and cholera (squares) per million, right hand scale (E&W)

31 Changing incidence: 1850 to 1910

32 Changing incidence: 1850 to 1910 Fall in TB mortality far exceeds improvement in social conditions Why? TB affects young adults, and kills children Reduced fertility of TB-susceptible families Relative increase in TB-resistant population Hypothesis BCG & Rx remove this selective pressure Modern population may be more susceptible No decline in white population incidence (late C20)

33 1825 Elizabeth age Maria age Anne age Emily age Charlotte age 38 Five siblings All died from TB None had children

34 Changing incidence: 1850 to 1910 Fall in TB mortality far exceeds improvement in social conditions Why? TB affects young adults, and kills children Reduced fertility of TB-susceptible families Relative increase in TB-resistant population Hypothesis BCG & Rx remove this selective pressure Modern population may be more susceptible

35 Alternative hypotheses for decline in mortality Thomas McKeown & RG Record (1962) progressive improvement in the standard of living Sir Stanley Woodwark (1938) together with rickets, scuvy and gout disease the influence of diet can clearly be traced Sir Arthur Newsholme (1923) reduced exposure to infection brought about by the segregation of consumptives in Poor Law Infirmaries

39 Alternative hypotheses for decline in mortality VH Springett (1952) 1) Reduction in number of persons infected ISOLATION (AND VACCINATION) 2) Reduction in number of infected persons developing disease HOST DENFENCE 3) Reduction in those with TB who die from the disease TREATMENT

41 Alternative hypotheses for decline in mortality New Poor Law (1834) Bentham s Utilitarianism: correct level of poor rate Malthus s doctrine of population growth opposes Old Poor Law

42 Alternative hypotheses for decline in mortality New Poor Law (1834) TB disease of young and productive => destitute No longer allowed to receive alms at home Workhouses admit sick paupers and become public hospitals Workhouse expansion 1860s onwards London 1869: 28,600 inmates 11,000 sick (39%) (cf 4000 general hospital beds)
