My name is Misbakhul Anwari and I was a student at school of nursing at Jember University. The topic that i have choose is signs and symptoms of tuberculosis (TBC) disease.

First symptom of TBC is the most common symptoms. That is cough, which becomes persistent and is accompanied by phlegm and even blood. The coughing become more prominent with time. The patient becomes weak, loses focus and suffers from fever and sickness often.

The second symtom is chills and night sweats. The patient get in and out of fever and feels uneasy most of the time. Even during cold weather, night sweats becomes a common phenomenon.

The third symptom is loss of appetite. A person suffering from TBC has drastic appetite loss which apparently leads to a loss in weight. The person becomes skinny, looks weak and out of strength. This loss of strength helps the disease to spread faster as the immune system becomes more weak and the bacteria (mycrobacterium tuberculosis, cause of TBC disease) becomes stronger.

So, there are many signs and symptoms of TBC. Suck as cough, chills and night sweats, also loss of appetite. If someone have one or more of many symptom above, that person should be immediately consult to the health service.
