Night Sweats

Many people will confuse the cause of night sweats for something else, such as an autoimmune disease flare up, cancer, menopause, or other infections before ever considering tuberculosis.

Part of the fever cycle, night sweats will occur when the body attempts to reduce the core temperature once it has risen above the thermoneutral zone. Sweat is produced to cool the body down through evaporation.
