What do you need to know about Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis?

Sailender03 Oct, 2022Health

Tuberculosis outside the lungs is known as extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Although the primary site of infection is the lungs, the infection can extend to other organs. Symptoms vary with the site of infection but generally include fever, malaise, and weight loss. Miliary TB occurs when a TB lesion erodes into a blood vessel, disseminating millions of the infection-causing bacteria into the bloodstream and throughout the body.
