    Tuberculosis is an infectious disease of the lungs caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is a disease that seriously threatens human health. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (referred to as tuberculosis bacteria, the same below) is mainly transmitted through the respiratory tract by tuberculosis patients who shed the bacterium.

    Tuberculosis bacteria infection in healthy people does not necessarily cause disease, and only develops the disease when the body's immunity is weakened. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization (WHO), 800.1 million cases of tuberculosis occur every year in the world, and about 3 million people die from tuberculosis every year, making it the single infectious disease that causes the highest number of deaths. In 1993, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a "global tuberculosis emergency", believing that tuberculosis has become an important public health problem worldwide.

    The principle of pulmonary tuberculosis is mainly chemical, and its principles are: early, regular, whole, appropriate amount, and combination. (1) Early period:

    In the early stage of pulmonary tuberculosis, the blood of the lesions in the lungs is good, which is conducive to the penetration and distribution of drugs, and at the same time, macrophages are active and can engulf a large number of tuberculosis bacteria, which is conducive to promoting tissue repair and effectively killing tuberculosis bacteria, so tuberculosis should be detected as early as possible. (2) Regularity: According to the chemotherapy regimen, regular dosing can maintain a relatively stable plasma concentration to achieve continuous bactericidal effect.

    On the contrary, the blood concentration is unstable, and the minimum inhibitory concentration cannot be reached at low concentrations, which will induce bacterial resistance. (3) The whole process: after taking anti-tuberculosis drugs, the symptoms will be significantly improved in the short term, and most of the sensitive bacteria will be eliminated in about 2 months, but some non-sensitive bacteria and intracellular tuberculosis bacteria are still alive.

    4) Appropriate amount: Excessive use of anti-tuberculosis drugs will increase the adverse reactions of drugs, and insufficient dosage can induce drug resistance, so appropriate drug doses must be given according to the patient's age and weight during chemotherapy. (5) Joint:

    Combined with anti-tuberculosis drugs with different mechanisms, the cross-bactericidal effect of multiple drugs can be used, which can not only improve the sterilization effect, but also prevent the emergence of drug resistance. Take care of your body and hope that people who are unfortunately infected with tuberculosis will be able to get it sooner**. good luck.

    Trouble, thanks!

    Early**, high success rate. Pulmonary tuberculosis generally does not need to be hospitalized, and the vast majority of oral anti-tuberculosis drugs need to be taken regularly throughout the process, even if drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis is also oral drug-resistant tuberculosis drugs, infusion is not beneficial to the body, and hospitalization is also prone to cross-infection nosocomial infection, which will bring difficulty to the future. Large hemoptysis, pneumothorax or severe tracheal stenosis requiring hospitalization.

    The types of tuberculosis include tuberculosis, gastric tuberculosis, liver tuberculosis, intestinal tuberculosis, etc., among which tuberculosis is the most common. Tuberculosis is caused by an infectious disease in which the body is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and penetrates into the lungs. When a large amount of tuberculosis bacteria produced during sneezing, coughing, and foaming at the mouth are inhaled into the body of others, it is easy to cause infection, and eventually lead to tuberculosis, which is the way it is transmitted.

    Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a bovine pathogen. People spend a lot of time in public every day, and when people talk or sneeze, they get infected with the tuberculosis bacillus and come silently.

    Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis does not necessarily cause tuberculosis. Tuberculosis lurks in the body like a dead bug. People who are physically strong and have strong immunity do not speak or act.

    However, children, the elderly, and patients with congenital immunodeficiency will "step on the nose and frown", and multiply excitedly, tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a highly evolutionary germ, and if the first ** does not die completely, it will develop drug resistance, and constantly update the "data". The early symptom of tuberculosis is coughing. This makes people think that it is just coughing and anger, but if the cough persists for more than two weeks, and even if there are blood stains on the sputum, you should pay attention and go to the relevant tuberculosis prevention facility for examination**.

    If not, there are the following dangers.

    If you don't get tuberculosis and get tuberculosis, the tuberculosis bacilli will multiply on the body, and when the lungs cannot be placed, hospital metastases such as stomach and liver will occur, causing various complications and even death. Tuberculosis can also reverse the disease without a complete **, and the "door and feet" will decline after the body is cured, and if it stops**, the germs will be "hit" this time, and the patients who get tuberculosis are like a huge source of infection. In other words, in the process of interacting with others, the probability of pathogens, friends, and family members developing tuberculosis will increase significantly.

    It is much more difficult to develop drug-resistant tuberculosis**. If the patient cannot continue to take the drug, the more times it is, the more times it will be defective, the germ resistance will appear, the original first-line drug is no longer applicable, and the second-line drug used next time will not only take longer, but also the process will be more painful. Therefore, if you notice signs of tuberculosis, you should go to a specialized prevention facility as soon as possible**.

    In addition, in our lives, don't forget to open the windows for ventilation and change the indoor air. In places with a large number of people or sources of infection, medical masks can be worn to achieve a preventive effect.

    Tuberculosis is caused by infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the lungs of the human body, because Mycobacterium tuberculosis is highly infectious, it is very easy to infect others due to contact, because Mycobacterium tuberculosis can permanently damage the lungs, resulting in fibrosis of the infected site and permanent damage.

    Tuberculosis is very harmful. The biggest hazard is contagion. If tuberculosis is not treated, it can be prolonged in the body, and it is a prolonged course of the disease.

    Always good and bad. Finally, it becomes chronic fibrocavitary tuberculosis. This part of the patient has chronic cor pulmonale, and then can have respiratory failure and death.

    If your child is infected with the primary disease, the symptoms of primary tuberculosis will develop. Encephalic disease and hematogenous disseminated tuberculosis are present.
