2. More tuberculosis patients (high prevalence rate):
3. The death toll from tuberculosis is very high (high mortality rate):
4. There are many patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis (high drug resistance rate):
5. The number of tuberculosis patients in cities is low (the epidemic situation in cities is lower than that in rural areas);
Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Tuberculosis may invade various organs of the human body, but it mainly invades the lungs and is called tuberculosis.

Principles of treatment:
1. There are many pathogenic bacteria in the early stage, and drugs are easy to play a role;
2. Appropriate dosage can not only exert the maximum bactericidal or bacteriostatic effect, but also be tolerated by patients with small toxic reaction;
3. Combined medication can prevent drug resistance, and drugs can also be selected for bacteria in various metabolic states and bacteria inside and outside cells, thus achieving the purpose of strengthening drug efficacy;
4. Medication should not be interrupted at will. Intermittent therapy has specific requirements in dosage and interval, and its usage is regular, so it does not belong to intermittent therapy.
5. Chemotherapy should be adhered to all the time, with the aim of eliminating persistent bacteria and preventing recurrence. The whole process is not necessarily long.
Only by following the above five principles, early, moderate, combined, regular and whole course, can we ensure the thorough treatment.
