Miliary Tuberculosis

Miliary tuberculosis is a disseminated form of tuberculosis in which the responsible bacterium spreads through the blood and broadly affects several organs of the body at the same time.

Common symptoms: Prolonged fever, night sweats, weight loss, weakness, and, in many cases, difficulty breathing usually appear.

Common causes: It results from the spread of the infection throughout the body and can occur more easily when the defenses are weakened.

Who to see? The pulmonologist and the infectious disease specialist are the professionals who study this condition. Because it is a condition that usually requires timely care, in the case of persistent fever and prolonged general malaise, the prudent thing is to seek a medical evaluation.
