Very good, if it was possible in time to calculate this disease. In this case, the treatment can go pretty well. Launched tuberculosis is treatable with great difficulty. All this suggests that everyone should know the signs of tuberculosis in adults and children.
The disease has many of its features. The most important thing is that the signs of tuberculosis are difficult to identify at first. In most cases in the body at first there are very few pathogens of tuberculosis. Of course, this also prevents their detection - the body does not react to their presence. The only sure sign is the tuberculin reaction. The disease begins to develop, and the organism in most cases wins it. It happens unnoticed, but not always.
The main signs of tuberculosis are a spit with sputum, which lasts for more than three weeks, a small but prolonged fever, hemoptysis, and lack of appetite.
Tuberculosis is characterized by mood swings, decreased performance, irritability. Signs do not appear at the same time, but one or two at a time.
All listed signs should last more than three weeks. Explanation of them in other ways should be impossible. In general, it is worth noting that with any protracted symptom it is worthwhile to see a doctor. You should not wait. The doctor will immediately write a referral to the tests, on the basis of which it will be possible to conclude that there is a disease.
It is also possible that tuberculosis will begin to manifest itself immediately after infection. The temperature can immediately jump to forty degrees, will begin to hurt under the sternum, and also in the shoulder area. In this case, the cough becomes stiff, dry. At night, the infected person will become very sweaty. In the evening, a fever comes. With her body produces a cold sweat. Cough and lungs begin to ache.
Signs of tuberculosis are numerous. To them it is possible to attribute and fatigue, pallor, excitability, various problems with digestion. It is not excluded and pain in the joints.

It is worth returning to the fact that tuberculosis begins imperceptibly. A latent current can last a fair amount of time. In order not to start it, it is recommended to undergo a fluorographic examination on a regular basis.
