Symptoms of TB disease were classified into two parts, the general symptoms and specific symptoms. Difficult to detect and diagnose TB is caused by a clinical picture of the person that is not typical, especially in new cases.
Common symptoms (Systemic)
§ is not very high fever which lasts longer, is usually felt at night accompanied by night sweats. Sometimes fever attack such as influenza and is intermittent.
§ Decrease in appetite and weight loss.

§ When there is fluid dirongga pleura (covering of the lungs), can be accompanied by chest pains.
§ When the bone, there will be symptoms such as bone infection at some point to form a channel and empties into the skin above it, in this estuary will discharge pus.
§ In children to the brain (brain wrapper layer) and referred to as meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain), the symptoms are high fever, a drop of consciousness and seizures.
In patients age children if not cause symptoms, so TB can be detected if there are known contacts with adult TB patients. Approximately 30-50% of children who comes in contact with adult pulmonary TB patients gave positive tuberculin test results. In children ages 3 months - 5 years old who live with adult pulmonary TB patients with sputum smear positive, 30% reported infected based on serological examination / blood.

If a person suspected of suffering from or infected with TB disease, then there are some things that need to be done to check memeberikan proper diagnosis, among others:
§ diagnose both the patient and his family.

§ Laboratory tests (blood, sputum, cerebrospinal fluid).
§ Examination of anatomical pathology (PA).
§ X-ray of the chest (thorax photo).
§ and tuberculin test.
· Treatment of TB Disease
Treatment for patients with TB disease will undergo a long process, ranging from 6 months to 9 months or even more. TB disease can be cured completely if the patient regularly taking medication that a doctor can improve endurance and body with good nutrition.
During the treatment process, to find a better development then advised the patient to undergo either blood, sputum, urine and X-ray or x-rays every 3 months. The drug is generally given is obtan Isoniazid and rifampin as basic treatment for patients with tuberculosis, but because of the possibility of resistance by both drugs, the doctor will decide on providing additional drugs such as pyrazinamide and streptomycin sulfate or Ethambutol HCL as a single entity known as' Triple Drug '.
