Abstract
Behavioral medicine has long been interested in the interaction of emotions, stress, and susceptibility to infection. Tobach and Bloch were among the first to study the relationship between stress and susceptibility to acute tuberculosis. 1 Their data indicated that the stress of crowding significantly reduced survival time of mice challenged with acute tuberculosis infection.
