Dreaded means feared. Dreadful means terrible. I think you mean dreaded. Dreadful wouldn't be grammatically incorrect, but it wouldn't make as much sense.

Dreaded is correct. While tuberculosis is dreadful (terrible) it used to be dreaded (feared), especially by the family of someone who had it, as it was considered incurable and sufferers usually died young
