Is there a shadow in the lungs after tuberculosis is cured

After tuberculosis is cured, there may be no shadows in the lungs, or there may be shadows. Pulmonary tuberculosis is a chronic respiratory infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, and patients may have uncomfortable symptoms such as cough and sputum production.

1. The absence of shadows

If the patient's condition is relatively mild and the patient cooperates with the doctor for treatment in time after the disease, after a period of standardized anti-tuberculosis treatment, the effect of clinical cure can generally be achieved, and there is usually no shadow in the lungs at this time.

2. Shadowed situations

1. Old lesions: Some tuberculosis patients may cause the disease to be prolonged due to factors such as low autoimmunity or irregular medication, resulting in fibrosis or calcified lesions, which will lead to old lesions in the lungs, so it will also be manifested as a shadow in the lungs.

2. Cavitary tuberculosis: If a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis has cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis, it will lead to damage to lung tissues, and local necrosis will also be formed, so there may also be symptoms of shadow in the lungs.

It is recommended that patients with pulmonary tuberculosis should use rifampicin capsules, isoniazid tablets and other drugs for anti-tuberculosis treatment according to the doctor's instructions. At the same time, we should also pay attention to a healthy diet, eat more high-quality protein foods and fresh fruits and vegetables, which can supplement the nutrients needed by the body and help your health.
