In 1900, it is estimated that tuberculosis was responsible for leaving approximately 100,000 children orphaned in the United States alone. The disease was a leading cause of death at that time, significantly impacting families and communities. Many of these orphans faced considerable hardships, as the social safety nets available to support them were minimal.

Why is the apex of the right lung more likely to have tuberculosis?

Tuberculosis seems to be more common in the right lung rather than the left lung due to the short right trachea. Anatomically the left trachea is longer than the right one due to the position of the heart and the major vessels. As a result microbes can more easily navigate to the right lung rather than the left lung.
