Plaque honouring Robert W. Philip, phthisiologist in Edinburgh

Phthisiology is the care, treatment, and study of tuberculosis of the lung. It is therefore considered a specialisation within the area of pulmonology.[1]

The term derives from the designation by Hippocrates of phthisis (Greek φθίσις) meaning "consumption".
