OKAY! I know I've been asking too many questions, (3rd in one day) but I MUST know: if you have latent tuberculosis is it POSSIBLE AT ALL! to cough up blood?

Ok, anything is possible but it is so unlikely as to be nonexistent of coughing up blood with latent TB. If you do cough up blood get to a doctor right away. A hospital would be best. Just in case. In the "old days" we'd see TB patients with large abscesses bleeding profusely but that doesn't happen today with the advent of better treatment. And never hesitate to ask as many questions as you need answered. The only dumb question is the unasked one. God bless.
