Symptoms of Tuberculosis | Symptoms of Tuberculosis and the One Minute Treatment Symptoms of tuberculosis may be slow in developing and initially resemble those of influenza – general malaise, coughing, loss of appetite, night sweats, chest pain, and low grade fever. At first, the cough may be nonproductive, but as the disease progresses, increasing amounts of sputum are produced. As the condition worsens, fever, night sweats, chronic fatigue, weight loss, chest pain, and shortness of breath may occur, and the sputum may become bloody. In advanced cases tuberculosis of the larynx can occur, making it impossible to speak above a whisper.
Diagnosis of tuberculosis Patient history and physical examination and chest x-rays. Tuberculin skin test and a small amount of protein derived from mycobacteria is injected into the skin on the arm, and the area is examined after 48 to 72 hours. A slightly raised, hard, red patch of skin at the site indicates the presence of tuberculosis ( although not necessarily active disease).
