MedlinePlus : ⁴³ Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria usually attack the lungs, but they can also damage other parts of the body. TB spreads through the air when a person with TB of the lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, or talks. If you have been exposed, you should go to your doctor for tests. You are more likely to get TB if you have a weak immune system. Symptoms of TB in the lungs may include A bad cough that lasts 3 weeks or longer Weight loss Loss of appetite Coughing up blood or mucus Weakness or fatigue Fever Night sweats Skin tests, blood tests, x-rays, and other tests can tell if you have TB. If not treated properly, TB can be deadly. You can usually cure active TB by taking several medicines for a long period of time. NIH: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases

MalaCards based summary : Mycobacterium Tuberculosis 1, also known as tuberculosis, is related to miliary tuberculosis and pleural tuberculosis, and has symptoms including fever, pruritus and snoring. An important gene associated with Mycobacterium Tuberculosis 1 is CD244 (CD244 Molecule), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Innate Immune System and Cytokine Signaling in Immune system. Affiliated tissues include testes, lung and skin, and related phenotypes are fever and fatigue

Disease Ontology : ¹² A primary bacterial infectious disease that is located in lungs, located in lymph nodes, located in pericardium, located in brain, located in pleura or located in gastrointestinal tract, has material basis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is transmitted by droplets released into the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

NIH Rare Diseases : ⁵³ Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious and often severe airborne disease caused by the TB bacterium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB typically affects the lungs, but other organs of the body may be involved, as well. Not everyone who is infected with the TB bacterium becomes sick. TB bacterial infections only become "active disease" if the immune system can't stop them from growing. Classic signs and symptoms of active TB can include cough, weight loss, fever, night sweats, hemoptysis, chest pain, and fatigue. Symptoms involving areas of the body other than the lungs vary depending on which organ(s) are affected. TB is usually treated with a regimen of medications taken over a long period of time (often six to twelve months).
