Phthisiology
Medical speciality within the area of pulmonology that deals with tuberculosis
Phthisiology is the care, treatment, and study of tuberculosis of the lung. It is therefore considered a specialisation within the area of pulmonology.[1]
The term derives from the designation by Hippocrates of phthisis (Greek φθίσις) meaning "consumption".
