Hi. i like to know what could be a cause of sweating at night. it started early this year, from last week it getting worse. please advise?

Get seen: Night-sweats are an ominous symptom and should prompt the search for a cause -- bacterial endocarditis, tuberculosis, malignant lymphoma are common ones, and brucellosis and a few dozen other infections are concerns as well. Especially if your bedclothes really get wet -- it's a warning of likely serious illness that's likely to be treatabale.
