Tuberculosis is an ancient disease, which used to be called "consumption". In the past, tuberculosis was an incurable disease, which was equivalent to a death sentence. ? Of course, with the current medical level, it is not difficult to cure tuberculosis. Since the birth of BCG, tuberculosis has been contained. However, in recent years, due to various diseases, such as HIV, silicosis, lung cancer, and other diseases, the immunity has decreased, and the prevalence of tuberculosis has risen sharply, leading to an upward trend. ?

Let's start with science. What is tuberculosis?

Tuberculosis, in fact, is an infection, similar to other pneumonia, but the infected bacteria are special, called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This kind of bacteria reproduce slowly, so many antibiotics commonly used in pneumonia have no effect on it, so it should be distinguished from other pneumonia in treatment?

Specialist treatment: Because tuberculosis is highly contagious, relatively difficult to treat and harmful to human body, most cities will have specialized tuberculosis hospitals or infectious disease hospitals to treat tuberculosis patients.

Respiratory symptoms: Coughing and expectoration for more than 2 weeks or blood in sputum are common suspicious symptoms of tuberculosis. About13 patients have hemoptysis. Does the lesion involving pleura manifest as chest pain? .

Systemic symptoms: fever? The most common is long-term afternoon hot flashes. Some patients have fatigue, night sweats, loss of appetite and weight loss.

Tuberculosis is the cleverest infectious disease.

Tuberculosis itself is an infectious disease.

Because tuberculosis invades the body, if people have strong resistance, they will not get sick, but if their immunity is low, especially when they have a cold and fever, they will cause diseases and then get sick. It's not that a person who has never been ill doesn't have this kind of bacteria, but he is in good health and hasn't been sick these days.

The incubation period of tuberculosis is relatively long, and the latent range of tuberculosis is relatively wide.

The specific longest incubation period may reach 10 years or even 20 years from the current data analysis. The longest patient will have a lifelong incubation period, because the onset of tuberculosis depends on the patient's physique.

Patients with pulmonary tuberculosis should pay attention to the following daily matters:

When tuberculosis patients cough and sneeze? Avoid others and cover your nose and mouth;

Don't spit everywhere, spit with a covered spittoon with disinfectant? ;

When spitting is inconvenient, spit with a sterilized wet tissue or a sealed sputum bag;

Try not to go to crowded public places? If you must go, wear a mask? .

In particular, I need to mention

Mr. Lu Xun has a novel called Medicine, which tells that Hua Xiaoshuan got tuberculosis, and Hua Laoshuan bought him human blood steamed bread with the money from the closet. Of course, the ending is not a cure ... such people know at first glance that it is unreliable, but there are always people who believe in the so-called "folk remedies." No matter what illness, you must not listen to any "folk prescription". If it is particularly useful, why don't hospitals use it? So you must trust the doctor! ?
