What symptom is NOT typically associated with Tuberculosis (TB)?

• A. Coughing up blood
• B. Fatigue
• C. High fever
• D. Memory loss

Answer: (D)

Memory loss is not typically associated with Tuberculosis (TB). TB primarily affects the lungs and presents with respiratory symptoms, such as a persistent cough, which can sometimes include blood in the sputum. Additionally, fatigue is a common symptom due to the body's response to the chronic infection, and patients may experience high fever as part of the systemic inflammatory response.

In contrast, memory loss is not a direct symptom of TB. While severe or disseminated TB can possibly lead to complications that might indirectly affect mental status, such as through the effects of a chronic illness or complications like meningitis in rare cases, it is not considered a common or typical symptom of the disease. Therefore, among the options given, memory loss stands out as the symptom least associated with TB.
