    Introduction: Anyone who knows about pulmonary tuberculosis knows that pulmonary tuberculosis is a relatively serious respiratory infectious disease with a relatively high incidence of pulmonary infectious diseases. What causes tuberculosis? What about tuberculosis**? Let's find out.

    Tuberculosis is the appearance of tuberculosis lesions in the lungs. Tuberculosis is a mycobacterium that is a contagious disease. In the past, when there were no special drugs**, the case fatality rate of tuberculosis was still very high.

    In the past, there were no anti-tuberculosis drugs, and tuberculosis was generally a difficult disease, and it may face final respiratory failure. Now with anti-tuberculosis drugs, tuberculosis is already a completely capable disease.

    Tuberculosis patients cough and produce sputum, and the sputum may contain tuberculosis bacteria, which is infectious. One of the reasons why tuberculosis bacteria are found in sputum is that we have poor hygiene habits, and some people have the habit of spitting. Another thing that has led to a resurgence in the incidence of tuberculosis in recent years is that there are some drug-resistant tuberculosis, which is related to the irregularity of tuberculosis.

    Some people stop taking medicine by themselves, and some people don't continue to take it anymore and don't go to the hospital anymore because they feel better, which is not right. Tuberculosis must emphasize the regularity of the full course of treatment, so as to reduce the infectivity, cure tuberculosis, and not infect other people. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infecting the lungs of the human body, and the cause of the disease is that the human body is prone to tuberculosis when the body's resistance to droplets containing Mycobacterium tuberculosis is weakened.

    Exposure to infectious tuberculosis patients and the decline of the body's own immunity and resistance are the main causes of tuberculosis.

    Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, ensure adequate nutrition and sleep, maintain a healthy lifestyle and habits, quit smoking and alcohol and do not stay up late, and often carry out appropriate outdoor activities and physical exercises to improve one's own resistance; People with chronic diseases such as diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis, and malnutrition can be susceptible to tuberculosis due to decreased resistance. Therefore, corresponding measures should be taken in time to reduce the prevalence in view of the above-mentioned **; Avoid or avoid going to Internet cafes, mahjong rooms and other poorly ventilated closed places, the room should be more ventilated, tuberculosis bacteria are transmitted through the air, so ventilation helps to reduce the concentration of tuberculosis bacteria in the air and thus reduce the possibility of inhalation; Masks are required to be worn in places where tuberculosis patients gather; When someone in the family is suffering from tuberculosis and is in the infectious period, it is necessary to supervise and assist the family members of tuberculosis to carry out regular anti-tuberculosis**. Because the most fundamental way to eliminate the contagiousness of tuberculosis is to ** tuberculosis patients, patients need to wear masks, isolate and live, and often open windows for ventilation and disinfect items in the room.

    Tuberculosis is a very common disease in our daily life and can affect people's health. There are many reasons that induce patients to develop tuberculosis, such as bacterial infection, respiratory tract infection or some poor dietary habits in life.

    1. Caused by germs. The bacteria that cause tuberculosis are called tuberculosis bacteria, and there are many first-class hormones in tuberculosis bacteria, which will affect people's lungs and cause various allergic reactions, which can lead to tuberculosis.

    2. Respiratory tract infection. Respiratory tract infections are the main route of infection in most people with tuberculosis, and most are infected by droplet transmission. Healthy people can easily develop tuberculosis if they inhale droplets from a person with tuberculosis coughing or sneezing.

    If the patient is in a confined and airtight environment for a long time, and there are tuberculosis patients in the room, it is likely to lead to inhalation infection.

    Tuberculosis is mainly through drugs and surgery, the general drug is to control the patient's condition, use drugs to shorten the infectious period of tuberculosis, reduce the mortality rate, infection rate and prevalence of patients. If surgery is performed, the patient's lobes or whole lungs will be removed, but surgery is rarely used nowadays.

    Most of these patients are caused by the inflammation of lung disease, so if the patient usually has the habit of smoking and drinking, he must quit as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause tuberculosis after a long time. Tuberculosis patients generally have poor gastrointestinal function, so they must eat a lighter diet, eat more easily digestible food, eat less and eat more meals, do not have picky eating or picky eating, and achieve balanced nutrition and food diversification. When cooking, it is necessary to ensure that the meat and vegetables are matched, with color, fragrance and taste, to stimulate the patient's appetite.

If the doctor tells you that tuberculosis is suspected or suspected, you can first do a sputum test, and the tuberculosis bacteria are found in the sputum, and a positive tuberculosis culture is the gold standard for confirming tuberculosis.
