Jomar Ray Olano

Tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially
serious infectious disease that
mainly affects your lungs. The
bacteria that cause tuberculosis
are spread from one person to
another through tiny droplets
released into the air via coughs
and sneezes.
Signs and Symptoms

Signs and symptoms of active TB include

Coughing that lasts three or more weeks;
Productive or non-productive
Coughing up blood
Chest pain, or pain with breathing or coughing
Unintentional weight loss
Fatigue
Intermittent High Fever
 Night sweats
Chills
Loss of appetite
Tuberculosis can also affect other parts of
your body, including your kidneys, spine or
brain. When TB occurs outside your lungs,
signs and symptoms vary according to the
organs involved. For example, tuberculosis of
the spine may give you back pain, and
tuberculosis in your kidneys might cause
blood in your urine.
