See a doctor if you have a fever, drenching night sweats, persistent cough, and/or experiencing unexplained weight loss. These can be indications or symptoms of TB. They can also be symptoms of other illnesses, but it is best to be certain. It is recommended to see a doctor if you have had exposure to TB. The CDC recommends that people who are at greater risk of developing active TB should be screened for latent TB infection. People who have HIV/AIDS, are in contact with infected people, use IV drugs, are from a country where TB is common, live or work in places where TB is common, work in health care, and children who have contact with adults who are at risk of TB.
