EN: a person with tuberculosis
This is an old-school, almost dramatic way to say someone has tuberculosis (TB). Think Maria Clara novels. Today, you'd just say 'May TB siya.' Calling someone 'tisika' now sounds like you're from a historical film.
From Spanish "tísica" (a consumptive female).
This term is archaic and potentially offensive if used clinically today. It's more often encountered in literature or historical contexts.
