BMC Health Services Research, 07/02/09
Ngadaya ES et al. - Detection of smear positive PTB among patients who coughed for less than two weeks was as high as for those who coughed for two weeks or more.

Currently, one of the defining criteria for suspecting tuberculosis is cough for two weeks or more.
