60-year-olds, can tuberculosis be cured for more than 10 years?

Whether tuberculosis can be cured for more than 10 years in the elderly at the age of 60 needs to be judged according to the severity of the disease. If the patient's condition is mild, it is generally curable; However, if the patient is more severe, there may be no cure.

1. It can be cured: Pulmonary tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, which is contagious, mainly through respiratory transmission, digestive tract transmission, etc. If the physical fitness of the elderly is relatively good, and they actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment, and the personal physique is relatively good, it is possible to achieve the effect of clinical cure in this case.

2. Incurable: Due to the gradual decline of the physical function of the elderly, their own immunity will also be reduced, if they do not cooperate with the doctor in time to carry out standardized treatment during the illness, it may lead to further aggravation of the disease, thus affecting the health of the body. Therefore, for the elderly with severe conditions, it is generally difficult to achieve the goal of cure.

It is recommended that after suffering from tuberculosis, it is necessary to actively carry out treatment to avoid delaying the disease. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the usual healthy diet, try to eat more foods with high protein content, such as eggs, milk, etc., and you can also eat fresh fruits and vegetables, such as apples, tomatoes, etc., so as to supplement the nutrients needed by the body. In addition, it is also necessary to go to the hospital regularly for follow-up examinations and keep an eye on the development of the condition.
