Writing about a complete history of tuberculosis would obviously require more than the space we have available; therefore, this brief manuscript is just aimed to summarize some of the most curious and potentially less known aspects of this long lasting disease that likely started to accompany the mankind from the very beginning and still is among the most worrying illness affecting the poorest classes worldwide.
