Exempel
Scrofula was historically associated with tuberculosis, specifically the involvement of lymph nodes in the neck.
Skrofulos var historiskt förknippad med tuberkulos, särskilt med inblandning av lymfkörtlarna i nacken.
In the past, scrofula was thought to be curable by the touch of a monarch, leading to the term " King's Evil. "
Förr i tiden trodde man att skrofulos kunde botas genom en monarks beröring, vilket ledde till termen "kungsyukan".
