Does a positive for pulmonary tuberculosis necessarily have tuberculosis?

A positive for tuberculosis does not necessarily mean tuberculosis. Positive for pulmonary tuberculosis refers to the presence of acid-fast bacilli, which are specific to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, during a sputum smear, and if this is the case, the patient may be infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Due to the influence of a variety of factors, such as environment, diet, etc., it may lead to a decrease in the body's resistance, which may induce bacterial pneumonia, viral pneumonia and other diseases, and can also cause symptoms such as cough and sputum. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital in time to identify the cause and treat it through routine blood examination, chest X-ray examination, etc.

Pulmonary tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is contagious, mainly through respiratory transmission, digestive tract transmission and skin and mucosal breakage. When the body's immunity is low, it is easy to be invaded by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes the disease. After the disease, symptoms such as low-grade fever, night sweats, weight loss, fatigue, and hemoptysis may occur. At this time, you can follow the doctor's instructions to take rifampicin capsules, isoniazid tablets and other drugs for treatment, which can play a bactericidal role and alleviate the condition to a certain extent.

In daily life, we should pay attention to a reasonable diet, try to eat light and easy-to-digest food, and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods to avoid aggravating symptoms. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the regular work and rest, ensure sufficient sleep time, and avoid staying up late for a long time. If there is obvious discomfort during the period, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the condition.
