Symptoms of Tuberculosis
TB causes no symptoms in most patients. In others it is fatal. The bacteria lie dormant in the lungs. Bacteria may remain there permanently without causing illness. During this time, the infected person cannot spread TB to others. The infection spreads once the bacteria are active.
If you have any of these symptoms do not assume it is due to TB. These symptoms may be caused by other conditions. Tell your doctor if you have any of these:
- Severe Cough that lasts more than two weeks
- Coughing up blood and sputum (mucus from deep in the lungs)
- Pain in the chest
- Weakness or fatigue
- Unexplained weight loss
- Chills
- Fever
- Night sweats
- Loss of appetite
