What happens when you have tuberculosis?

Answer 1

You can get tuberculosis when somebody, untreated, has the disease. If they cough, sneeze, or spit, the TB germs can get flung into the air. People who aren't vaccinated can end up with the disease if they don't get treated. But, TB isn't easy to catch.

Answer 2

It depends where you are infected. But some symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis (in the lungs) are:

- Prolonged or chronic cough
- Bloody flem
- Chest pain
- Fever
- Night sweats
- Weight loss

Answer 3

A person with TB infection will have no symptoms. A person with active TB disease may have any, all or none of the following symptoms:

• A persistent cough
• Constant fatigue
• Weight loss
• Loss of appetite
• Fever
• Coughing up blood
• Night sweats

These symptoms can also occur with other diseases so it is important to see a health-care provider and to let them find out if you have TB. A person with TB disease may feel perfectly healthy or may only have a cough from time to time. If you think you have been exposed to TB, get a TB test.
