About tuberculosis! PPD Test Questions!!

1. If you are strongly positive for PPD, you should be considered to have tuberculosis, but you can't be completely sure, because some people will also have a strong positive reaction after being exposed to tuberculosis. If your symptoms disappear and the lung lesions disappear after anti-inflammatory**, it is also considered to be inflammation.

2. If the lung lesions do not disappear, tuberculosis cannot be ruled out. It can only be assumed that there may be co-infection.

3. Your situation, clinical symptoms plus CT manifestations, the possibility of inflammation is high.

4. But you should note that people who are strongly positive for PPD have a 10 times greater chance of developing tuberculosis than others. Prophylaxis is best.

5. You can check the sputum to see if there are acid-fast bacilli, if there are no acid-fast bacilli, even if it is tuberculosis, the infectivity is small. If acid-fast bacilli are positive, the diagnosis of tuberculosis is confirmed, and it is highly contagious.

6. If you are sick, as long as it is not infectious, it will not affect your wife's pregnancy.

Hello. A positive PPD indicates that the body is infected with tuberculosis bacteria, but it is not necessarily pulmonary tuberculosis, and if it is not pulmonary tuberculosis, it is not infectious.

A positive PPD does not necessarily mean that it is tuberculosis, but mainly depends on CT and sputum examination and clinical manifestations.

Yesterday, the doctor sentenced me to tuberculosis, I just had a pimple on my neck, CT showed that there was tuberculosis, the sputum test was normal for 3 times, the blood test and liver function were all normal, and there were no other uncomfortable symptoms, but when the nasopharynx saw the ENT department, the doctor said that the lesion was diseased, and a biopsy was done, and the result was that tuberculosis was considered to be gone, and the doctor gave a sentence based on clinical practice.

I spent 2,000 yuan just for the examination, which took me 10 days, and I knew it was tuberculosis, and I went directly to calculate it when the initial lung CT came out.

Suggestion: Since you want to have children, it's best to have a careful or comprehensive check-up, even if it costs a little money.

The PPT test is not the standard for diagnosing tuberculosis in the first place, and the presence of antibodies in the body may be positive. CT should be followed up, and the child's health should not be seen for the time being.

The criteria for judging the results of the PPD test include:

1. There is no redness and induration in the test area

2. There are red spots the size of a pin's eye or slight redness and swelling in the cracked hunger assignment of the test part, and the diameter of the induration is ( )3. The diameter of the redness and induration of the test part is.

4. The diameter of redness and induration at the test site is (++

5. The diameter of redness and induration at the test site is 2cm (++6, in addition to the appearance of redness and induration, local blisters and necrosis are (the dosage of +++ppd: the first test solution contains 1 100,000 times of dilution for the first time in general, in order to prevent the occurrence of early and serious ** and systemic reactions. After routine disinfection, the test solution is injected into the skin of the flexor side of the forearm, and the results are observed for 48 72 hours, if the results of 48 hours are not clear, the results of 72 hours should prevail, pay attention to whether there is local induration, and do not take redness as the standard alone.

Generally speaking, a simple PPD test result is positive or a strong positive does not mean anything, you must add a sputum antacid bacteria culture, a simple sputum acid bacteria culture negative can not rule out the possibility of tuberculosis, can be repeated several times, if the sputum acid bacteria culture is positive, you can basically confirm the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis, you can take a chest X-ray to see. It also depends on the symptoms of poisoning all over the patient's body, such as night sweats, low-grade fever in the afternoon, etc.

If it's just a positive PPD test result or a strong positive, you don't need to take medication, don't worry about him, I'm like that, and there are a lot of infectious disease hospital doctors who are strong positive, because you have more exposure, but it doesn't mean that you definitely have tuberculosis

First, pulmonary tuberculosis can be **, provided that the protocol of a tuberculosis specialist is strictly followed, otherwise it is easy to cause drug resistance and **.

Second, chemotherapy is the main drug for tuberculosis, isoniazid.

Li Vice-Ping. Streptomycin.

and other tuberculosis drugs.

In addition, supplement enough nutrients to enhance physical fitness.

Improving immunity is helpful for ** tuberculosis, and there are also surgical removals, but this depends on the specific medical record.

Third, mainly focus on a high-nutrient diet, and it is best to drink plain water.

Fourth, tuberculosis is mainly transmitted through airborne droplets through the respiratory tract.

Fifth, it takes at least one year, because this is a full course of chemotherapy, so you can't stop, once there is a stop in the middle, it is easy to cause drug resistance, and the current tuberculosis hospital may be free**.

If there is any error in the above, I hope to correct it, thank you.

First: whether pulmonary tuberculosis can be ** depends on whether the tuberculosis bacteria you are infected with are drug resistant, and there is basically no drug cure for full drug resistance;

Second: according to the theory, grasp the five principles of early, joint, appropriate, regular, and whole-process;

Third: You can eat anything you could eat before you got sick, but there have been reports of allergies to eggplant during taking isoniazid (very few people, most of them don't);

Fourth, tuberculosis is mainly transmitted through airborne droplets in the respiratory tract, but there are also few digestive tract transmissions and mother-to-child transmission;

Fifth: About healing. 6 to 8 months for non-drug resistance, 18 to 36 months for partial drug resistance, and total drug resistance is basically waiting for death (of course, if the body is fully resistant and can maintain a balance with the invasion of tuberculosis, it can also survive for a long time, but it is a long-term source of infection).
