Thanks for your question on HCM.
Tuberculosis is infectious disease which mostly affect lungs but can affect other organs too.
So symptoms of tuberculosis in lungs are
1. Cough for more than 2 weeks with or without expectoration.
2. Low grade, evening rise fever.
3. Weightloss, decreased appetite and oral intake.
4. Hemoptysis (blood in sputum)
5. Breathlessness etc.
So if you have any of these symptoms thsn better to consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray and sputum examination for AFB.
