    1 Onset usually occurs within 2-3 months.

    Tuberculosis is a relatively serious infectious disease, from infection with germs to disease, there is generally an incubation period of 2-3 months, if there is no disease within 3 months, it is likely that it will not be sick. However, there are also a small number of people who may develop the disease after several years when their resistance is reduced.

    2. Not necessarily morbid.

    There are two main factors that determine whether or not you will develop the disease after being infected with the tuberculosis virus:

    1) the number and virulence of infected tuberculosis bacteria;

    2) Resistance or immunity of the infected person.

    According to relevant data, about 90% of people may not develop the disease in their lifetime after being infected with the tuberculosis virus.

    3. Those with weak resistance may **.

    Hello: The incubation period of tuberculosis refers to how long it takes for people to develop tuberculosis after they are infected with tuberculosis bacteria. The incubation period of pulmonary tuberculosis is determined by two conditions: (1) the number and virulence of tuberculosis bacteria; 2) Resistance or immunity of the infected person.

    So, some people can get sick within a few months after being infected. In some cases, the disease occurs years later when the resistance is weakened. Most people (about 90%) may not develop the disease in their lifetime.

    Therefore, after being infected with tuberculosis bacteria, the general incubation period of 2-3 months can be followed by the growth period before the onset of the disease, and the human body can have antibodies after infection, and you can do PPD test, sputum acid-fast bacteria, three items, and chest X-ray examination to know whether you have tuberculosis.

    Hello. The absence of acid-fast bacilli on sputum examination does not rule out tuberculosis. Ancillary examinations such as chest x-ray and personal signs and medical history are required to confirm the diagnosis.

    Because there is a cavity on x-rays, there is a possibility of tuberculosis. Tuberculosis, commonly known as "tuberculosis", is an infection caused by the invasion of Mycobacterium tuberculosis into the body, which is a chronic and slow-onset infectious disease with an incubation period of 4 to 8 weeks. But the incubation period varies from person to person.

    Of these, 80% occur in the lungs, and secondary infections can occur in other parts (cervical lymph, meninges, peritoneum, intestines, bones). It is mainly transmitted through the respiratory tract, and the source of infection is contact with tuberculosis patients who have excreted the bacteria. X-rays are not available, and tuberculin tests are required.

    In general, tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease. At first, the patient feels unwell because of mild symptoms, and generally does not attract attention. Symptoms only appear when the disease progresses, and some people have very poor resistance, and the amount of bacteria infected with tuberculosis bacteria is large and virulent, then the symptoms will be very obvious.

    When you suspect tuberculosis, the first step is to do a chest fluoroscopy, and if the doctor finds abnormal shadows in your lungs, he will give you a sputum test. Once tuberculosis bacteria are found in the sputum, the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis can be determined, and sputum detection is the most accurate way to diagnose pulmonary tuberculosis and find the source of infection. In addition, the doctor will also ask you to check the phlegm regularly to assess and evaluate the effect.

    After the end of the course of treatment, the sputum positive patients were found to have pulmonary tuberculosis after three consecutive negative sputum tests**. 4. X-ray shows shadows, possible causes: 1) non-tuberculous bacterial infection of the lungs 2) tuberculosis 3) viral ** infection 4) others.

    After Mycobacterium tuberculosis is stained with aniline, it is not easy to decolorize acidic decolorizing agents, so it is also called acid-fast bacilli and no acid-fast bacilli were found in the sputum test. It is necessary to check 3 sputum smears, and if all 3 of them show that no acid-fast bacilli have been found, and in the case of auxiliary examinations such as chest x-ray, it can be determined in combination with medical history and signs, and it is not possible to exclude tuberculosis just because acid-fast bacilli are not found in the examination report. Infection with tuberculosis bacteria does not necessarily lead to the disease, and whether the disease occurs depends on the number of bacteria, the virulence and the strength of the infected person's resistance.

    So get regular medical check-ups.

    Generally, people call the stage of infection to the onset of the disease called the incubation period, tuberculosis also has this process, but the incubation period of tuberculosis can not be counted and calculated, 90% of adults have been infected with tuberculosis bacteria, most people do not get sick in their lifetime, some people can get sick in a short period of time, the incidence of disease depends on the number of bacteria, virulence and the strength of the resistance of the infected person. Therefore, there is no fixed incubation period for tuberculosis.

    Tuberculosis infection, only sputum-positive tuberculosis is contagious, (not all tuberculosis is contagious) no one else can cause infection, infected with tuberculosis bacteria, can not infect others before the onset of the disease, because they cannot excrete tuberculosis bacteria from the body.

    Your mother is weak and has just caught a cold, so you should be aware of the invasion of the disease, even if it is tuberculosis, and it has nothing to do with your classmates.

If there is a nodule image, he is listed as a high-risk group, and if a patient with tuberculosis has a primary syndrome, and at the same time, after the end, there is a calcification of the mediastinal lymph node, it doesn't matter. If you have a history of smoking and environmental occupational carcinogenic factors, you can also become cancerous when your immunity is weakened, but it is a scar cancer. >>>More
