Phthisiology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Phthisiatry)
Plaque honouring Robert W. Philip, phthisiologist in Edinburgh

Phthisiology is the care, treatment, and study of tuberculosis of the lung. It is therefore considered a specialisation within the area of pulmonology.[1]

The term derives from the designation by Hippocrates of phthisis (Greek φθίσις) meaning "consumption".
