Dr. Robert Koch discovered Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 1882. The illness was widespread and typically fatal. The disease affects victims in two ways, but quarantine in tuberculosis sanitariums, medical intervention, and code-based reporting systems significantly reduce cases.

Patients having symptomatic TB are known to have effects on various body areas.

Patients with latent TB don't feel ill, but if they don't get treatment, they could develop symptoms.

Patients with the illness typically have positive sputum and skin tests, abnormal chest X-rays, and may present the following symptoms, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):

  • a bad cough that lasts 3 weeks or longer
  • pain in the chest
  • coughing up blood or sputum
  • weakness or fatigue
  • weight loss
  • no appetite
  • chills
  • fever
  • sweating at night

ICD-10-CM code sections A15 through A19 are reserved for diagnosis of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis or Mycobacterium Bovis. Look to P37.0 if congenital TB is the patient's diagnosis. R76.11 should be used to report a positive skin test for latent tuberculosis or for active disease. Through B90.x, the sequela may be reported. Report J65 if the patient has tuberculosis-related silicotuberculosis pneumoconiosis. For screening for respiratory tuberculosis, visit Z11.1. If the patient is a TB carrier, report Z22.
