Does tuberculosis cause weight loss?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Tuberculosis (TB) causes weight loss, but not early in the disease. Since a person can catch TB germs and have them inside his body for many years before starting to have symptoms, he may not have weight loss until the disease becomes "active" later.
