TB-possibly: A healthy immune system often successfully fights TB bacteria, but your body can't mount an effective defense if your resistance is low. A number of diseases and medications can weaken your immune system, including: hiv/aids, diabetes, end-stage kidney disease, certain cancers, cancer treatment, such as chemotherapy, drugs to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, malnutrition, and age.
