Summary/Abstract: In the research based on archival sources and popular and expert medicine, the author presents the social construction of tuberculosis on the edge of two political regimes in Bulgaria – immediately before and after the establishment of the communist rule up to the definite introduction of the Soviet model of public health (the “Semashko”system). This is the period, which coincided with the bacteriological turn in treating tuberculosis in global scale – the introduction of the effective medical therapy and the mass application of the program of BCG vaccine.
