    It is mainly transmitted through droplets. Chronic respiratory infections caused by infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacillus in the lungs, which are transmitted to healthy people by tuberculosis patients who excrete the bacterium through loud talking and coughing droplets. If you have tuberculosis, at the time of the procedure**.

    It is best to live in a separate room with your family, eat separately, separate the dishes and chopsticks, and boil the dishes and chopsticks in water for 5 minutes every 10 days to disinfect them. Try to keep contact as little as possible and don't get close to your child. So as not to transmit tuberculosis to children.

    Don't spit either. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is very vigorous and stubborn, it can survive for 1 2 hours in strong direct sunlight. It can survive for months in dark, damp places.

    The tuberculosis bacillus in the sputum can only survive for 5 minutes in boiling water, and all patients with tuberculosis should cover their mouths with a clean handkerchief when coughing, and keep a distance of at least 1 meter from a healthy person when talking and coughing, so as to avoid transmission to others. When a patient with infectious tuberculosis coughs or sneezes, the sputum containing tuberculosis bacteria becomes droplets and spreads into the air, and after normal people inhale, the tuberculosis bacteria have a chance to multiply in the lungs and infect the lungs. They are most susceptible to infection by being in close contact with infectious tuberculosis patients.

    1. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is mainly transmitted by air, that is, droplet infection, when infectious tuberculosis patients cough or sneeze, the sputum containing tuberculosis bacteria becomes droplets and walks into the air, after normal people inhale, tuberculosis bacteria have the opportunity to multiply in the lungs, so that the lungs are ininfected.

    Tableware and leftover food used by tuberculosis patients may be contaminated with tuberculosis bacilli. Therefore, sharing utensils with tuberculosis patients or eating leftover food from patients is easy to get infected with tuberculosis bacilli; Drinking unpasteurized milk or dairy products can also infect dairy products.

    During pregnancy, the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacillus in the body of the mother with tuberculosis can enter the fetus through the blood of the umbilical cord, and the fetus can also be infected by swallowing or inhaling amniotic fluid containing the Mycobacterium tuberculosis, thus developing congenital tuberculosis.

    2. It is best for tuberculosis patients to live in separate rooms with their families, eat separately, separate dishes and chopsticks, and boil the dishes and chopsticks in water for 5 minutes every 10 days to disinfect them. Try to keep contact as little as possible and don't get close to your child.

    4. After being infected by tuberculosis bacteria, it is not necessary to develop the disease, and whether it is morbidity mainly depends on two aspects: one is the amount of inhaled tuberculosis bacteria and the virulence of tuberculosis bacteria; The second is the resistance of the infected person.

    Tuberculosis is prone to occur when inhaled tuberculosis bacteria are highly viulent and large in number, and the body's immunity is reduced. After a person is first infected with TB bacteria, most people usually have no symptoms and do not develop TB.

    How is tuberculosis transmitted to other people? What are the modes of transmission?

    The pathogen of tuberculosis is the excretion of tuberculosis patients, during the infection period, it mainly depends on the expiration date of tuberculosis patients, according to the level of infection, in fact, it is related to the size of the patient's sputum excretion, the severity of the patient's cough symptoms, and the level of contact tightness, as well as whether the natural environment is naturally ventilated. Generally speaking, patients with more cough and phlegm are more infectious than patients with dry cough without skin, and the frequency of dry cough is greater, and there is more infectivity of those who excrete bacteria, taking an infectious tuberculosis patient as an example, if it is not timely in a year, it will infect 10-15 people, but these people with poor resistance are actually more likely to suffer from diseases, such as children, adolescent children, the elderly, lack of nutrition, silicosis, diabetes, People who have undergone gastrectomy are more likely to be infected. Taking tuberculosis medicine is effective in preventing infection.

    How is tuberculosis transmitted?

    Respiratory tract infection: For diseases such as tuberculosis, in fact, the main way of transmission is tuberculosis, if healthy people inhale droplets containing germs in their lives, and if they are infected after floating dust, it will lead to susceptibility and tuberculosis.

    Digestive system infection: that is also the transmission route of diseases such as tuberculosis, if you drink unsterilized sterilization in life, there is also drinking milk contaminated by disinfection and sterilization of environmental contamination of bovine tuberculosis bacteria, and there is food contaminated with Streptococcus humanoids, which will not only lead to the production of primary lesions in the throat or stomach, but also induce tuberculosis.

    Other infections: broken skin, mucous membranes and other parts will also have problems that are infected, and some are also congenital tuberculosis infection routes are within the mother, according to the placenta or inhalation of amniotic fluid infection, and then not long after birth, it will lead to disease, in addition to nutritional status, nervousness and anxiety, physical exertion and other factors are related to a certain extent, there is also a variety of factors such as hormone treatment, tumor chemotherapy, immune enhancement method, diabetes and other factors are the causes of disease.

    Most of us know that tuberculosis is contagious, but the specific transmission route is not clear to many people, recently I researched it, and I know what the transmission route of tuberculosis is, so I will share it with you.

    1.First, the air-respiratory tract, which is the most important route of transmission of tuberculosis. When a patient speaks loudly, coughs, or sneezes, they release many droplets that carry tuberculosis bacilli, and if a susceptible person inhales them, they can become infected.

    If a tuberculosis patient spits sputum on the ground, after the sputum dries, the tuberculosis bacilli and dust will fly together in the air, and it can also cause infection if it is inhaled into the lungs by healthy people.

    2.Second, tuberculosis can be transmitted through food, and tuberculosis bacilli may be contaminated with tuberculosis bacilli on the utensils and leftovers used by tuberculosis patients. Mycobacterium bovis can also be infected by drinking unpasteurized milk or dairy products, and can also be infected if you do not wash your hands carefully after touching items such as spittoons used by patients.

    3.Thirdly, there is a vertical transmission of tuberculosis, and the tuberculosis bacilli in the mother's body can enter the fetus through the umbilical cord blood during pregnancy, and the fetus can also be infected by ingesting or inhaling amniotic fluid containing tuberculosis bacilli, thus developing congenital tuberculosis.

    Precautions. There are many ways to spread tuberculosis, so once tuberculosis is found, it is necessary to be timely to avoid infecting others.

    Tuberculosis is one of the more contagious diseases. Usually tuberculosis patients have chest tightness, fever, shortness of breath and other characteristics. So what are the ways in which this disease is transmitted, and whether tuberculosis infectious diseases cannot be prevented, let's find out now.

    Tuberculosis is usually transmitted in four ways:

    One is airborne and droplet transmission. This method is also one of the most important means of communication. Patients should avoid closed and circulatory environments, and pay more attention to ventilation to avoid the occurrence of infectious diseases.

    The second is contact transmission. Patients with tuberculosis are highly transmissible. If he has used utensils or supplies and does not disinfect them in time, they can be transmitted to healthy people through various means of contact.

    So be sure to pay attention to isolation and do a good job of disinfection. The tuberculosis virus is highly contagious, so try to avoid using the same utensils, and you can take the principle of eating separate meals.

    The third is maternal transmission. If a pregnant woman is or is being infected with an infectious disease when she is pregnant with a fetus, then the disease may cause infection of the fetus, and the transmission route is usually through the placenta, which transports nutrients. Mother-to-child transmission can only be used as a bearer for the fetus, so as a mother, you should do a good job of testing before pregnancy, and if there are tuberculosis bacteria, try to recover well before considering pregnancy.

    Fourth, dietary infection. If the child eats the food chewed by the sick person, or shares a drinking cup with the sick, etc., it will also cause the spread of the disease, we say that the spread of the disease of the patient usually pays attention to the prevention work, and the child can improve the immunity against the disease through vaccination. Dietary infections are also the most important concern, because they can be avoided through good lifestyle habits.

    Patients should pay more attention to rest, and if they are already sick, or if they feel that they have symptoms of an airplane box infectious disease, they should go to the hospital immediately**. After 6-9 months of anti-tuberculosis**, it is generally possible**. So although the disease is terrible, it is very beneficial to have a good attitude and a positive attitude.

    Tuberculosis is a respiratory infection that is mainly transmitted in the form of droplets. Droplets formed by coughing, sneezing, and laughing loudly in a person with tuberculosis can be infected with tuberculosis if inhaled by a healthy person. In addition, dust particles formed after the sputum of tuberculosis patients is dried can also spread tuberculosis.

    Therefore, try not to communicate with tuberculosis patients face-to-face at close range, or wear masks, do not let patients spit, strengthen nutrition, live a regular life, exercise, and improve their own immunity.

    1. Direct infection:

    Direct inhalation of the flies that come out of the nose and mouth when a person with open tuberculosis coughs, sneezes or talks loudly is the most important route of infection.

    Kiss with open tuberculosis patients.

    Eating contaminated food from a sick person and using utensils with a sick person has a lower chance of contagion.

    2. Indirect infection:

    Indirect inhalation of flying flies that contain tuberculosis bacteria floating in the air often occurs in rooms with poor air circulation.

    Indirectly inhalation of dust containing tuberculosis bacteria from floors, clothing or bedding contaminated with the patient's sputum. However, not everyone who is exposed to tuberculosis will get tuberculosis, and only when the person's body is less resistant and infected with tuberculosis bacteria is more likely to develop the disease.
