According to the symptoms, signs and imaging features of tuberculosis, it can be divided into primary tuberculosis, secondary tuberculosis, disseminated tuberculosis, tracheobronchial tuberculosis and tuberculous pleurisy.
Tuberculosis is contagious. The source of infection is pulmonary tuberculosis patients who excrete bacteria in sputum. Transmission route: When pulmonary tuberculosis patients with bacteria in sputum cough, sneeze or speak loudly, droplets will spread. It may also be transmitted through the digestive tract and skin, but it is rare.
Tuberculosis is a highly contagious disease. Generally speaking, healthy people infected with mycobacterium tuberculosis will not get sick immediately, but only when their immunity drops. The treatment of this disease is very important, so we must choose a professional hospital for treatment.
Generally, after the occurrence of tuberculosis, there will be obvious symptoms, among which the main symptoms are night sweats, emaciation, and severe cough, and there will be blood in the sputum when coughing. This disease is not incurable, and it can be cured by general combination of drugs. However, in the treatment of this disease, it is necessary to choose a professional hospital for treatment to ensure the therapeutic effect.
Although tuberculosis can be cured, it takes a long time. After the emergence of tuberculosis, it needs to be treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs, which usually takes about half a year to take effect, and then slowly returns to normal. Some tuberculosis patients will have a low fever for a long time, so once they feel uncomfortable, they should go to the hospital for examination in time. Pulmonary CT examination and erythrocyte sedimentation rate detection are very important judgment basis.
