Where is tuberculosis generally located in the lungs?

Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Lesions of pulmonary tuberculosis are mainly located in the trachea, bronchi, and lung tissues.

1. Primary tuberculosis

1. Trachea: If the patient is invaded by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, it may cause damage to the tracheal mucosa, which will cause symptoms of dry cough, and will also be accompanied by low-grade fever and fatigue;

2. Bronchi: If the patient's condition is more serious, it will also affect the bronchi, which is prone to cough, hemoptysis and other symptoms, and may also cause chest pain, and in severe cases, it will cause dyspnea;

3. Lung tissue: With the development of the disease, it will cause exudate in the alveoli, and even form cavities, and fibrosis or calcification, so it will lead to body emaciation, and will be accompanied by symptoms such as loss of appetite and night sweats.

2. Secondary tuberculosis

If it is secondary tuberculosis, it usually leads to lesions in multiple parts of the lungs, such as lymph nodes, pleura, etc., which will also have a certain impact on the surrounding organs, and in severe cases, it will be life-threatening.

It is recommended that after being diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis, it is necessary to treat it in time, and you can take rifampicin capsules, ethambutol hydrochloride tablets and other drugs for anti-tuberculosis treatment according to the doctor's instructions, so that the disease can be controlled. In addition, in daily life, we should also pay attention to strengthening nutritional supplements, and eat more high-quality protein foods, such as eggs, milk, etc., which is conducive to enhancing physical fitness and promoting the recovery of diseases.
