    In this article, Sharon DeWitte and Philip Slavin analyze how the Great Famine and the Great Bovine Pestilence influenced the health of the population in the early 14th century, specifically in England. In doing this, they attempt to determine if these two disasters had an impact on the susceptibility of certain population groups to the Black Death that devastated Europe during the middle of the 1300s. There is a detailed analysis of paleopidemiology data from a study involving skeletal remains from the East Smithfield Cemetery in London, as well as a review of manorial records regarding the agricultural composition of medieval England. DeWitte and Slavin examine the implications of the short-term effects of famine based on skeletal stress markers.

    The definitive diagnosis is through an acid fast stain of the bacteria in a lab, obtained through multiple sputum cultures and a chest x-ray showing abnormalities of the lungs. There is antibiotic treatment for tuberculosis but the bacteria is very drug resistant due to the stiff structure of the cell wall and as a result, the antibiotic course is long and sometimes dangerous due to serious side effects. The most common antibiotics used to treat TB are isoniazid and rifampicin for a minimum of six months. There are drug-resistant strains of TB known as MDR-TB and in these cases, several drugs are used at once to give treatment a better chance at success.
