Abstract

Tuberculosis usually causes symptoms. Many patients may first be aware of fatigue, anorexia, weight loss, irregular menses, or a low grade fever that persists over weeks to months. Symptomatic patients with disease can be characterized as having generalized or systemic signs and symptoms, pulmonary signs and symptoms, signs and symptoms related to other organs, or a combination of these features, namely miliary or disseminated tuberculosis. Acute symptoms may be superimposed on a more chronic pattern which may simulate many other diseases. Tuberculosis may mimic, or occur concurrently, with pneumonia, sarcoidosis, fungal infection, or neoplasm. However, medical attention should be sought in order that appropriate treatment for tuberculosis can be given to the patients.
