Is there a high probability of recurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis, and does CT need to be taken?
If patients with tuberculosis follow the doctor's instructions for standardized treatment and their condition is controlled, the probability of recurrence is generally unlikely. However, if anti-tuberculosis treatment is not actively pursued or other adverse factors are present, it may lead to recurrent episodes.
1. A condition that will not recur
1. The disease is controlled: if the tuberculosis patient is treated with isoniazid tablets, rifampicin capsules and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor, the bacteria in the body are eliminated, and then symptoms such as cough and sputum appear at this time, it is usually not a recurrence of tuberculosis;
2. Anti-tuberculosis treatment: Pulmonary tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, which is mainly manifested in clinical symptoms such as low-grade fever, night sweats, fatigue, emaciation, cough and sputum production.
For patients diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis, they need to go to the hospital in time and receive regular anti-tuberculosis treatment, such as taking ethambutol hydrochloride tablets, pyrazinamide tablets and other drugs as prescribed by the doctor, and also need to regularly review chest X-ray and blood routine examination to understand the recovery of the disease. If the disease is effectively controlled and there is no recurrence, it means that the prognosis of the patient is better, and the recurrence of uncomfortable symptoms at this time is not necessarily caused by the recurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis.
2. Conditions that will recur
If tuberculosis patients do not actively cooperate with doctors for anti-tuberculosis treatment during their illness, or are often exposed to a highly polluted environment, as well as smoking and drinking alcohol for a long time, it may lead to the recurrence of pulmonary tuberculosis.It is recommended that such people seek medical treatment in a timely manner to the respiratory medicine department, complete relevant examinations, confirm the diagnosis, and then continue anti-tuberculosis treatment according to the doctor's instructions.
In daily life, we should also pay attention to a reasonable diet, eat more protein-rich foods, such as eggs, milk, etc., which can supplement the nutrients needed by the body, help enhance physical fitness, and promote the recovery of diseases.
