Miliary Tuberculosis (TB)
Symptoms of Miliary TB
Symptoms of miliary tuberculosis can be vague and difficult to identify. They include weight loss, fever, chills, weakness, general discomfort, and difficulty breathing. Infection of the bone marrow may cause severe anemia and other blood abnormalities, suggesting leukemia. If bacteria are intermittently released into the bloodstream from an unrecognized infection, people may have a fever that comes and goes and may gradually lose weight, wasting away.
