Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is generally not considered infectious, as it primarily affects organs outside the lungs, such as lymph nodes, kidneys, or bones.

In most cases, individuals with extra-pulmonary TB do not spread the disease to others. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to manage and contain the infection.

Hemoptysis in pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) occurs primarily due to the destruction of lung tissue and blood vessels as a result of the infection. The inflammatory response and caseous necrosis associated with TB can lead to the erosion of bronchial blood vessels, causing bleeding. Additionally, cavitary lesions formed in the lungs can rupture, further contributing to the presence of blood in the sputum. This symptom is a significant indicator of the severity of the disease and may require urgent medical evaluation.

Efforts are ongoing to improve diagnosis and treatment strategies, especially for drug-resistant forms of the disease.
