• Tuberculosis primarily affects the Lungs.
On X ray if you notice the white infection in the pulmonary system, that means your lungs are affected by TB.
• Lymph nodes can also get affected with bacterial tuberculosis.
It is marked by the swollen painless lymph. If you notice the bulge, contact the doctor immediately.

Answer:
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease usually caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) bacteria. Tuberculosis generally affects the lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body. Most infections show no symptoms, in which case it is known as latent tuberculosis. About 10% of latent infections progress to active disease which, if left untreated, kills about half of those affected. The classic symptoms of active TB are a chronic cough with blood-containing mucus, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. It was historically called "consumption" due to the weight loss. Infection of other organs can cause a wide range of symptoms.
