24th of March

 Today we remember Dr Robert koch, for his work in regard to Tuberculosis, to win a day in the calenderical  slot, for celebrating a disease configuration in a year.


Maybe we quietly forgot his four postulates, which says,
1. In a diseased individual the casuative factor/organism must be present.
2. They must be absent in a healthy person.
3. The organism must be grown/cultured, when collected from the diseased person.
4. After culture the organism must cause the same disease when introduced into a healthy person, and the same organism cultured should be identified in the person infected.

Or else there is no causative relationship.

Now do you think we will remember him or quietly try to find some evolution to his theory, to suit our practices in the present times.

Maybe there is a junior in the line of Dr Koch to explain, the postulates to go along with our world, or debunk his theory.

In science there is always space for improvement, the past was/is a step for a climb to truth.
