Symptoms of tb in general are low grade fever, weakness, loss of appetite, weight loss, feeling tired.
other symptoms are dependent on the organ affected by tb.
most commonly it is lungs, so the symptoms are usually cough, sputum production, breathlessness etc.
it spreads through close contacts basically if the patient with lung tb coughs out or slits in open or sneezes without covering his mouth.
