Well, the thing about Tuberculosis is that you don't have any symptoms and you do not feel sick until the bacterial strain begins to take hold of you which could be at any moment in the future, usually taking up to 12 weeks and until the strain takes hold, the bacteria cannot be spread. I think you'd know it isn't just a common cold when you are hit by a vast combination of symptoms such as chronic coughing, fatigue, fever and weight loss. Again, the problem with this is that doctors will diagnose you as just having the flu if you state those symptoms, and that is why it is so difficult to diagnose.
