Tuberculosis is a highly contagious disease that is transmitted during coughing and sneezing. Many people are exposed to tuberculosis, yet not everyone develops tuberculosis disease. Some people may carry tuberculosis infection for many, many years before developing tuberculosis disease. Others may have a tuberculosis infection, yet never develop tuberculosis disease. Those persons who do develop tuberculosis disease, will experience signs and symptoms of tuberculosis. It is believed that the strength of the immune system determines whether a tuberculosis infection develops into tuberculosis disease. People with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS, are more susceptible to developing tuberculosis disease. Unlike tuberculosis infection, tuberculosis disease is contagious. This is because the Mycobacterium that causes the disease is active. People infected with tuberculosis disease may experience any of the following signs and symptoms: Nausea / weakness / fatigue Rapid weight loss Fever Night sweats Cough Chest pain Hemoptysis If you are experiencing any of the above signs and symptoms of tuberculosis, see your doctor immediately
