Why did everyone Edgar Allan Poe loved die of tuberculosis?

Answer 1

It is believed that Edgar Allan Poe's loved ones died of tuberculosis because the disease was common during that time period and there were limited treatments available. Additionally, Poe's own struggles with poverty and mental health may have contributed to the stress that compromised their immune systems, making them more susceptible to the disease.

Answer 2

Many of the most important people in Poe's life died of tuberculosis. You can see how it affected him in works like "The Raven." When he was writing it, his wife was in the next room coughing up blood. He knew he would soon be in the same situation as the narrator of "The Raven." He also wrote "The Mask of Red Death," which is about a plague that you can't hide from that makes you cough of blood and die even if you barricade yourself in a fortress and allow no one in. So yeah, it affected him pretty deeply.

Answer 3

Not everyone Poe loved died of tuberculosis(TB). The idea that all of the women in Poe's life died of TB is untrue.

Poe's mother died of an unstated unspecified illness. A family member stated many years later that she died when she was sick with pneumonia. There is no medical history that his mother ever had tuberculosis. Despite this, it has been widely assumed by many sources that she did die of tubercilosis.

Poe's wife, Virginia Clemm did die of tuberculosis.

Poe's foster mother, Frances Allan died of an unspecified illness, which could have been tuberculosis, since she had a long history of illness. Mr. Allan thought she was a hypochondriac, so it is possible that she did not have TB, because symptoms of TB are unmistakable and would have been even to John Allan.

Poe's aunt Maria Clemm died of some other illness.

Poe's brother William Henry Leonard Poe did die of tuberculosis.
