MAZANA, J.S.. Tuberculosis and its eponyms: Charles Mantoux (1877-1947). Rev. esp. sanid. penit. [online]. 2009, vol.11, n.1, pp.17-23. ISSN 2013-6463.
In 1908, Charles Mantoux, a French doctor perfected a test for the diagnosis of tuberculosis contact (latent tuberculosis). This study reviews the history of this technique, which is closely linked to the symbolism and mythology of an illness that at one time was known as the white plague.
