Herpes is an infection caused by HSV (herpes simplex virus).

This virus affects the external

genitalia, anal region, mucosal surfaces, and skin in other parts of the body.
Herpes is a long-term condition. However, many people never have
symptoms even though they are carrying the virus.

Symptoms include blisters, ulcers, pain when urinating, cold sores, and

vaginal discharge. Although there is no cure for herpes, it can be treated using
medications and home remedies.

In this article, we discuss the symptoms of herpes, how to treat it, and how to
avoid it.

Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes (meninges) surrounding your brain

and spinal cord.

The swelling from meningitis typically triggers symptoms such as headache, fever and a
stiff neck.

Most cases of meningitis in the United States are caused by a viral infection, but
bacterial, parasitic and fungal infections are other causes. Some cases of meningitis
improve without treatment in a few weeks. Others can be life-threatening and require
emergency antibiotic treatment.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria
usually attack the lungs, but they can also damage other parts of the body.

TB spreads through the air when a person with TB of the lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, or talks. If
you have been exposed, you should go to your doctor for tests. You are more likely to get TB if you
have a weak immune system.

Symptoms of TB in the lungs may include

 A bad cough that lasts 3 weeks or longer

 Weight loss
 Loss of appetite
 Coughing up blood or mucus
 Weakness or fatigue
 Fever
 Night sweats
