Disseminated Tuberculosis

Disseminated tuberculosis, also known as generalized tuberculosis, is a contagious infection in which a tuberculosis infection has spread from the lungs to other parts of the body, with multiple organs affected. Disseminated tuberculosis can occur in the weeks after infection with tuberculosis or years after. The diagnosis of this form of tuberculosis consists in taking a sample from the organ, which would be affected, to prove the presence of an infection. Treatment for disseminated TB usually involves taking a combination of antibiotics for 6 to 12 months. Most people recover well, but it takes time for symptoms to improve.

Common general symptoms of tuberculosis include: fever, chills, night sweats, malaise, i.e. feeling generally unwell, joint pain, weight loss, fatigue.
