It is spread to another person by coughing or sneezing TB germs into the air. These germs may be breathed in by the child.Adults who have active TB usually have many of the following symptoms: cough for more than two weeks duration, loss of appetite, weight loss of ten or more pounds over a short period of time, fever, chills and night sweats. A person can have TB germs in his or her body but not have TB disease (this is called latent TB infection or LTBI). Tuberculosis is preventable and treatable. TB skin testing (often called the PPD or Mantoux test) or a TB blood test (called an IGRA) is used to see if your child has been infected with TB germs. No vaccine is recommended for use in the United States to prevent tuberculosis. The test is not a vaccination against TB.Place a mark in the appropriate box Yes No Don't Know TB can cause a fever of long duration, unexplained weight loss, a cough (lasting over two weeks), or coughing up blood.
