RESUMO
This is an account of the activities and contributions made by the Hospital San José in the battle against tuberculosis in the care of patients, in the medical and surgical fields, as well as in teaching and research. The Hospital San José was founded in 1872 at a time when Santiago was ravaged by smallpox, typhoid fever, cholera measles, and other infections. Years later it was reorganized for the care of tuberculous patients for whom 400 beds were eventually available. At present it is a general hospital. The history of the Hospital San José is intertwined with the history of the various antituberculous treatments since the end of the last century up to the present time.(AU)
