Could There Any Complications Involved If The TB Is Not Diagnosed Properly?

hi, i am 22 yrs old.i was exposed to tb patients alot of times because of the nature of my work. i went to a dr. today, and have an examination done. negative CXR. i think it was 4 yrs ago when i first thought that i might be infected. my chest and throat hurt alot because of coughing 4 days ago. i also got a fever 38C yesterday and 38.38C today. if i have a possible tb, will there be alot of complications because my tb was not diagnosed earlier ?

Hello dear

Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .

* If you had TB since 4 years , you would not have been in this health
condition at present , so do not get panic about that issue .

* So far as complications of the undiagnosed TB is concerned there are
many as ( if we consider pulmonary TB )
- hemoptysis - cachexia - weight loss - anemia - breathlessness
- fever not controllable - protein deficiency - others .

Hope this will help you for sure .

Regards .
