What are some diseases similar to tuberculosis and could be mistaken as Tuberculosis


What are some diseases similar to tuberculosis and could be mistaken as Tuberculosis?
So I am researching tuberculosis, and I have to answer the question: If it isn't your exact disease, what else could it be? So essentially I have to find diseases with the same signs and symptoms, ones that may act in the same way or cause your body to look the same way as tuberculosis. I then have to talk about how they are similar and why. Any help would be great. Thanks.
