after 1943, when albert schatz, then a graduate student at rutgers university, discovered streptomycin, an antibiotic and the first cure for tuberculosis, sanatoria began to close. as in the case of the paimio sanatorium, many were transformed into general hospitals. by the 1950s, tuberculosis was no longer a major public health threat; it was controlled by antibiotics rather than extended rest. most sanatoria were demolished years before.
