Off the top of my head, if you had TB, you'd be coughing up too much blood to care how much school you missed.

idk about tuburculokis or bronchitiis but with pnemonia it can be about a week but it all depends in everything how severe it is but i'd maybe google it

If you are asking about how long you will be too sick to go, anyone's guess. Depends mainly on your general health and whether you follow the doc's instructions. If you are asking this in terms of how long you must stay out because you are contagious ... TB - none if you are school age, except except a few late teens with documented cavitary lesions. Pediatric patients are not contagious. Bronchitis and pneumonia - depends on what caused it. In most cases a week, tops, if you follow the docs instructions. More like 3-5 days. There will be exceptions, like SARS
