Cause #10: Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis, commonly known as TB, is a bacterial infection caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium. It most commonly affects the lungs but can also infect other parts of the body. Symptoms include but are not limited to fever, coughing, coughing up blood and fatigue. It can be fatal if it is left untreated so patients should seek medical assistance as soon as possible.
Tuberculosis is a contagious disease and is often spread by coughing. It can also lay dormant, residing in its host for years without causing any symptoms. One symptom that may lead to the discovery of tuberculosis is a frozen shoulder.
