If only coughing up blood were a symptom of something as benign as TB....

TB symptom?

as a medic in oilfields during the late 70’s/early 80’s in SE Asia, Africa, and the Gulf I had a number of cases (locals) who had a recent history of no apparent illness who were able to perform their duties in excellent fashion suddenly come to me coughing moderate to significant amounts of whole blood.....sudden onset in every case. Also in every case, the report after sending them ashore or to a hospital was advanced TB. I had nothing whatever to do with their “physicals” prior to hiring, except to know that it was alleged that they were screened for TB exposure using the tine test method, and none were hired who indicated exposure......so it was said, anyway.

It most certainly is a TB symptom
