1 :
there aren't any true physical effects, like bags under the eyes, or rashes, etc. The main symptom is a chronic cough, also accompanied by blood in the spit/phlegm. It also can cause weight loss. The symptom of chronic cough could be caused by an number of diseases.
2 :
Tuberculosis does not directly cause bags under the eyes. Tuberculosis causes chronic cough (often with bloody sputum), fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Coughing all night could lead to a lack of sleep that would cause bags under the eyes. TB is often fatal, and is usually does not cause symptoms until the very end. If you think you have TB, call your doctor
