Pulmonary tuberculosis, a bacterial infection primarily affecting the lungs, was the probable cause of Anne's untimely demise. This contagious disease, commonly known as TB, was prevalent during the early 20th century and claimed numerous lives, especially in overcrowded and unsanitary living conditions.
