TB patients temperature generally will not be low.
Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection respiratory disease, bacteria can invade the human body after a large number of reproduction caused by tuberculin blood, and produce toxins, tuberculosis toxins can form a heat source in the blood, promote the body fever. When the bacterial reproduction in the body is at a low level, weak immune response, can appear 37-38℃ low fever. When the bacteria in the body reproduce actively and the immune response is strong, it can cause high fever of about 40℃, so the temperature of tuberculosis patients is generally not low, but will rise.
