Workplace health is very important, how to prevent tuberculosis?

Workplace health is very important. Tuberculosis is a serious respiratory infectious disease, formerly known as tuberculosis. Before liberation, the spread of lung diseases caused a large number of deaths and disabilities. The famous writer Lu Xun died of tuberculosis. In our usual work and life, we must actively prevent it, and workplace health is very important. How can we prevent the infection and large-scale spread of tuberculosis? In fact, tuberculosis is a disease transmitted through respiratory tract, that is, when a patient breathes or coughs, Mycobacterium tuberculosis spreads into the air. After the bacteria in the air enter the respiratory tract of a healthy person, if the immunity of this healthy person is low, it will lead to the colonization and disease of mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Therefore, in order to effectively prevent the spread and infection of tuberculosis, the most important thing is to avoid close contact with tuberculosis patients. Tuberculosis patients should be consciously isolated from others. Healthy people should wear masks in crowded places to avoid contact with harmful bacteria in the air. First of all, it is one of the most effective preventive measures to find tuberculosis patients in time and treat them actively. We know that TB patients, especially those who excrete bacteria, are the source of infection of TB, so it is very important to treat TB patients formally and thoroughly as soon as possible so that they do not excrete bacteria and control the spread of TB from the source.

Two, cut off the route of transmission of tuberculosis can not be ignored, advocate personal hygiene, disinfection and isolation, to avoid the spread of tuberculosis. Patients with pulmonary tuberculosis should be careful not to cough or sneeze in front of others, and cover their nose and mouth with handkerchiefs or hands to prevent the spread of droplets with bacteria. Don't spit everywhere. Spit in the spittoon and disinfect it. We should also try to avoid contact between babies and patients with bacterial tuberculosis. The patient had better live in a room alone. If there are no conditions, sleep in separate beds with others. Always open the window for ventilation to keep the indoor air fresh. The instruments used by patients should always be scrubbed with disinfectant. Bedding should always be dried in the sun. In addition, separate meals should be adopted to avoid the spread of digestive tract. Patient-specific tableware should be washed separately, opened separately and disinfected frequently. Generally, it can be disinfected by boiling for 20 minutes.

Third, improve the body's immunity and prevent infection. In addition to strengthening exercise and strengthening the system, infants and young children are vaccinated with BCG vaccine, which makes people immune to tuberculosis and has a significant effect on preventing tuberculosis in children, especially miliary tuberculosis and tuberculous meningitis in children.

Fourth, giving anti-tuberculosis drugs to tuberculosis patients can prevent the onset of tuberculosis. As we have said, although some people are infected with tuberculosis, they have not caused it, which is related to people's autoimmune function and the virulence and quantity of tuberculosis entering the constitution. For these carriers who have been infected with tuberculosis but have not developed the disease, anti-tuberculosis prevention should be given to avoid the disease when their resistance drops.
