    First of all, asthma is not contagious, but asthma has a genetic predisposition. For example, if your parents are asthmatic, then your child is also prone to allergies and asthma, and not all children of asthma patients are asthmatic, and they will be affected by environmental factors in addition to genetic factors. Asthma is caused by a combination of factors.

    Tuberculosis is a respiratory infection, as the name suggests, it is contagious, and tuberculosis is mainly transmitted through the respiratory tract. For example, when we have a tuberculosis patient around us, when he coughs or sneezes, he will emit a large amount of tuberculosis bacteria, and if we come into contact with these bacteria when we breathe, we will be infected. Although tuberculosis is an infectious disease, not all tuberculosis patients are infectious, and it depends on whether the tuberculosis bacteria test is positive, and the patients who have turned negative are not infectious.

    Asthma and tuberculosis are two diseases that require patients to have a good rest, and in their daily life, patients should pay attention to a ventilated environment and do not stay in a confined space. Don't smoke and don't do strenuous exercise. No matter what kind of disease we should actively carry out**, tuberculosis and asthma will cause serious complications, such as emphysema.

    We are also too scared of asthma and tuberculosis patients, and we can wear masks to avoid the spread of tuberculosis. People with these two diseases generally have low self-esteem, we should give them enough care and comfort, if the relatives around them are disgusted with them, it will affect their mood and lead to the deterioration of the condition.

    Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which generally invades the lungs of the human body, which is the pulmonary tuberculosis we are familiar with. (However, in addition to the lungs, it can also invade other organs, such as the kidneys, spine, lymph nodes, urinary system, etc., which are collectively called extrapulmonary tuberculosis.) )

    When it comes to infectious diseases, people are most concerned about whether they will be contagious if they come into contact with tuberculosis patients. Tuberculosis is mainly transmitted through the air, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis is excreted into the air through sneezing, talking, spitting, etc., and people around them may inhale these bacteria and cause infection.

    So, is it true that anyone infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis will have tuberculosis? The answer is no. In fact, about 95% of people infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis are asymptomatic and in the incubation period for a long time, and these people are not contagious.

    After infection, it is mainly people with low immunity, such as the elderly, infants and young children, diabetic patients, patients with immune system diseases, etc., which is the main reason why the high incidence of tuberculosis in the past was poor living conditions and without vaccines.

    In the case of tuberculosis, getting sick doesn't mean it's contagious, and infection doesn't mean it's going to get sick.

    Early and standardized medication, tuberculosis can be used.

    Early and standardized medication, tuberculosis can be used. Improper medication can easily cause drug-resistant tuberculosis, which is difficult and expensive, and the prognosis is poor, so it is very important to identify pulmonary tuberculosis in time.

    Common symptoms of tuberculosis include persistent cough, sputum production, blood or hemoptysis in the sputum, night sweats, fever, fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, or unexplained weight loss. When these warnings appear in the body, especially in high-risk groups with weakened immunity, please seek medical attention in time to confirm the diagnosis.

    What should I pay attention to if I have tuberculosis?

    First of all, it should be made clear that for the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis, "prevention" is far more important than "cure".

    Secondly, for patients with confirmed tuberculosis, they should stay at home and isolate at home, ventilate frequently, cover their mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, seal used tissues, and wear masks when going out.

    Tuberculosis is definitely contagious, and it is also transmitted through saliva in the air.

    Pulmonary tuberculosis is a chronic respiratory infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is contagious. The source of infection is the direct sputum smear positive tuberculosis patients, and droplet transmission is the most important transmission route, mainly the sputum positive tuberculosis patients, through coughing, sneezing, laughing, etc., the microdroplets containing Mycobacterium tuberculosis are discharged into the air and transmitted. The degree of infectivity is related to the amount of Mycobacterium tuberculosis excreted by the patient, the degree of close contact with the patient, and the immunity status of the individual.

    Actively improve the living environment, strengthen ventilation, exercise, and improve their own resistance, which can effectively prevent the infection of tuberculosis.

    Tuberculosis is of course contagious, because tuberculosis itself is a typical infectious disease of the respiratory system.

    Tuberculosis is a respiratory infectious disease caused by infection of the lungs by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and it is also a chronic infection disease, which is mainly transmitted through the respiratory tract through droplets. The source of infection is tuberculosis patients, and the transmission route is through the respiratory tract through droplets, and the susceptible groups are mainly people with weak physical resistance, including the elderly and children.

    After having tuberculosis, it is necessary to give corresponding anti-tuberculosis**, generally taking a short-course ** regimen, such as isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol and other drugs **, ** for 6-9 months.

    Tuberculosis is a respiratory infection, but it is not contagious at all times.

    Pulmonary tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and patients with latent infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis generally do not have clinical symptoms of tuberculosis and are not contagious at this time. In addition, inactive tuberculosis is usually asymptomatic and is usually not contagious if it is detected only on chest imaging.

    When active tuberculosis develops, symptoms such as cough and sputum production can occur, and pathogenic mycobacteria can be spread into the air through coughing and sputum production, and can also be transmitted to others through saliva. When Mycobacterium tuberculosis enters the body through the respiratory tract, it can cause secondary infection, and the chance of active tuberculosis infection is relatively high.

    For people with a clear diagnosis of active tuberculosis, they should do a good job of daily care, and when coughing, sneezing or talking, they can use a tissue to cover their mouth and nose to reduce the chance of infection.

    Tuberculosis is of course infectious, tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease of the respiratory tract caused by tuberculosis bacillus, infectious diseases must be infectious, infectious diseases have infectious sources, transmission routes and susceptible populations, three links, the main recommendations are the following three points:

    Clause. 1. The source of infection is the patient, and the sick person is the source of infection, so tuberculosis should be isolated, and isolation is mainly to isolate the sick patient.

    Clause. Second, cutting off the route of transmission means not having close contact with the patient, wearing masks, and washing hands, which is an effective measure to cut off the route of transmission.

    Clause. 3. Protecting susceptible populations, such as wearing masks and isolating others, is also effective in protecting susceptible populations, but the most effective protection for tuberculosis is to be vaccinated with BCG after birth, and BCG vaccination can actively immunize and produce antibodies, which can prevent the occurrence of tuberculosis. When vaccinated, it is not 100% that tuberculosis is not avoided, at least the chance of tuberculosis is small, and even if they have tuberculosis, some children may have mild symptoms and are not typical.

    Therefore, after each child is born, it is necessary to punch in the intermediate.

    It is important to know about tuberculosis that some children have been in contact with their parents, such as those who have tuberculosis and have been in close contact, can also be intervened in tuberculosis, and can use the anti-tuberculosis effect of 3 months as a preventive medicine.

    Tuberculosis is a very intelligent infectious disease because it has the following characteristics:

    1.Insidious infection: Tuberculosis bacteria can remain dormant in the human body for many years without incurring the onset and not transmitting it to others. In this case, people may not know that they are carrying the germ, i.e., they have a stealthy infection.

    2.Drug resistance: Traditional TB** regimens require long-term medication, but bacteria can adapt to anti-TB drugs in a variety of ways, making it increasingly difficult.

    3.Spread of germs: Tuberculosis bacteria are spread through the air, released into the air when a person coughs, sneezes, etc., and can survive for several hours in the air, making it easier for the germs to spread.

    4.Difficult to detect: Tuberculosis is not easy to detect in the early stages because symptoms such as cough, fatigue and fever are mild, and these symptoms can also occur in other diseases, leading to the advanced stage when the disease may be detected.

    In summary, the reason why tuberculosis is considered the smartest infectious disease is because it has the characteristics of insidious infection, drug resistance, transmission of germs, and difficult to detect, which make tuberculosis more difficult to control and control.

    Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is considered one of the most intelligent infectious diseases. This is because tuberculosis has the following characteristics:

    1.Long incubation period: The incubation period of tuberculosis can be as long as years to decades, during which patients may not develop any clinical symptoms, but they can still transmit the pathogen to others through coughing, sneezing, etc.

    This makes tuberculosis very contagious and undetectable, and can breed and spread over a long period of time.

    2.Strong drug resistance: due to the mutated energy of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, drug-resistant strains are prone to appear, resulting in the ineffectiveness of traditional anti-tuberculosis drugs, and the formation of multidrug-resistant or extremely drug-resistant tuberculosis, which makes tuberculosis very difficult.

    3.The symptoms are relatively hidden: the early symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis are often not obvious, such as dry cough, slight fever and general tiredness, etc., similar to the symptoms of the common cold, which are easy to be ignored or not timely, thus worsening the condition.

    4.Contagious: Tuberculosis is spread through airborne droplets, which can spread Mycobacterium tuberculosis to the surrounding population, especially those who have been in close contact with the patient, when the patient coughs, sneezes, etc.

    Moreover, because patients with tuberculosis can have an antibody response for a long time and are still contagious after death, it is very difficult to control the spread of tuberculosis.

    To sum up, as an infectious disease, tuberculosis has the characteristics of long incubation period, strong drug resistance, relatively hidden symptoms and strong contagiousness, which makes tuberculosis very complex and difficult to deal with in terms of infection, infection and **, so it is considered to be one of the smartest infectious diseases.

    I don't know the claim that tuberculosis is the "smartest" infectious disease, but tuberculosis is indeed a serious infectious disease that is not usually severe, and its transmission and impact are very complex and pervasive.

    Tuberculosis is a disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is spread through the air, and infected people can spread the germs to others by coughing, sneezing, talking, etc. Tuberculosis has a long incubation period, symptoms are subtle, and it is easy to go unnoticed, which makes the spread of tuberculosis very difficult to control. In addition, Mycobacterium tuberculosis is able to form a difficult "hidden" state in the body, which means that even if the infected person does not show obvious symptoms, they can still spread the germs, making it more difficult to control and prevent tuberculosis.

    Therefore, it can be said that tuberculosis is a very challenging infectious disease that needs to be tackled through comprehensive prevention, control and ** measures. Although there are certain difficulties in the spread and development of tuberculosis, many countries and organizations have invested a lot of resources and energy to deal with this challenge within the scope of the whole nuclear blindness, and have achieved some rift results.
