A member asked:
Please tell me what febrile comsumption is?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I believe this is: in reference to Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB). Consumption is a really old term that refers to a person's body wasting away from disease (usually TB). My thought is that this may be referring to having a fever in conjunction with such an illness.
