      TB is tuberculosis (you were correct Darci) which a infection of the lungs leading to spitting up mucous ,chest pain and generaly unwell. Every city in Australia had a TB ward in their hospitals. Larger towns also. The disease has been almost erradicated in developed countries and I do not know of a single case in Australia for years. The disease was brought to a stand still by the immunisation of children.

        I am assuming you are referring to the disease tuberculosis. I know that probably it not spelled correctly but that is what I have always heard TB stands for?
