Specter of `White Plague' Marks Survivors' Reunion; As Top-Rated Hospital Closes, Tuberculosis Is on Rise in U.S. After 6 Decades of Decline
1990
Overview
With the advent of antibiotics in the 1950s, most patients could be treated at home. In 1961, [Glen Lake] became Glen Lake San/Oak Terrace Nursing Home as inpatient TB care was phased out. In its heyday, the sanitarium had been rated with National Jewish Hospital in Denver and Saranac Lake sanitarium in New York as the best in the country, said Victor Funk, 90, a Glen Lake physician from 1924 to 1958. People infected with AIDS are far more likely to develop TB, especially strains difficult to treat, said Richard J. O'Brien, chief of the clinical research branch of the CDC's Division of Tuberculosis Control. He reported last week that the only available test for TB is ineffective if a person also is infected with the human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS.
