How do the symptoms of tuberculosis progress?

The symptoms of tuberculosis (TB) typically progress gradually and can vary depending on whether the infection is latent or active. Initially, individuals may experience mild symptoms such as a persistent cough, fatigue, and slight fever. As the disease progresses, symptoms often worsen to include significant weight loss, night sweats, and chest pain. If left untreated, TB can lead to severe respiratory issues and can spread to other parts of the body.
