In this episode of Satyamev Jayate, Aamir Khan talks about TB. But apart from the lungs, TB can infect various parts of the body, skin TB, genital Tb, intestinal TB and spinal TB. Of all these types pulmonary TB or TB of the lungs is the most common. Caused due to an infection by bacterium Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, this condition affects the lungs, making the patient weak and frail. Some of the common symptoms of this condition are as follows: Also Read - Ganesh Chaturthi 2020: 4 reasons an eco-friendly Ganesha is good for you

2. Pain in the chest is another symptom. In case of a normal cough, a patient may experience pain in the chest due to constant coughing and its resulting effect on the muscles of the area. But in the case of tuberculosis it is pain that is present constantly and usually not only while you cough. Also Read - India aims to eliminate tuberculosis by 2025

3. Coughing up thick, whitish or cloudy sputum is also a symptom of TB. In some cases this sputum may be tinged with blood, or only  blood.

4. Constant weakness and fatigue is definitely a sign that something is definitely wrong in your body. In case of TB a patient often experiences these symptoms due to their lung infection and inability to breathe.

5. Drastic weight loss is another very common symptom noticed in TB patients

6. Fever with chills can be confused with many conditions like malaria, but if the patient has been suffering from this symptom and all other infections have been ruled out, a doctor will suspect TB.
7. Patients with TB often experience a sudden drop in their appetite.

8. And lastly, profusely sweating at night is another symptom of TB.

9. TB of other organ systems manifest themselves differently, and these symptoms are usually in coherence with the organ that is infected.  For example: TB of the skin could manifest as a non healing ulcer, TB of the spine with backache, stiffness or even swelling in the back/groin, TB of the intestines  with abdominal distension and  absolute constipation. Even a non-healing anal fistula could be due to TB. TB of the lymph nodes can present with swellings at multiple sites of the body. TB of the covering of the brain and spinal cord can cause TB Meningitis, especially in children.

So, if you have noticed any of these symptoms, make it a point to visit your doctor immediately and get tested for TB.
