Tuberculosis Active

Active tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which occurs with symptoms of intoxication, damage to various organs and systems, most often the lungs, and is accompanied by the collapse of lung tissue. The symptoms of pneumonia depend on the extent of the pathological process. When the lungs are affected, a cough with sputum and chest pain occur. With tuberculosis, the liver and spleen may become enlarged. However, low-grade fever is not typical for all cases of active tuberculosis. But in any case, the diagnosis must be confirmed by a doctor.
