What Is Pulmonary Tuberculosis?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
7. Fever
Pulmonary tuberculosis is like so many other infections in that it will probably cause a fever. This is a self-defense mechanism as the body tries to make the body too hot for comfort for the invaders. Chills and night sweats are also likely to happen.
The patient will also likely feel very fatigued. This is beneficial in a way because they will need to be getting as much rest as they can. It is common for patients to lose their appetite, while they can also begin to lose weight. Bear in mind that losing too much weight too quickly can be very bad for your health.
