Is tuberculosis infected
Pulmonary tuberculosis can be divided into infective and non- infective two kinds. It means that there are tuberculosis funguses in the phlegm that infective, will pass to others' patient. Only if infective means not taking the tuberculosis fungus in the phlegm, will not pass to others' patient.
Pulmonary tuberculosis is two, three days after taking antituberculotic, the tuberculosis fungus will drop by a wide margin, but although like this, it is infective to still take in two weeks after taking medicine, the germ is the droplet transmission.
May not necessarily disease take place either infect, resistance of people become bad, know the disease to take place the intersection of tuberculosis and fungus that is infect once usually, but needn't worry even if infected with the disease and sent, pulmonary tuberculosis is not incurable disease, so long as treat carefully, the present tuberculosis medicine is very advanced, can cure more than 95% of the patients.
Confirm the tuberculosis patient that diagnosed, need to be checked instead of over 8 hours person with relatives and friends and contact of the constellation; If is the suspected case family not confirming tuberculosis yet, do not need to check.
There are three most common spread routes of tuberculosis:
1,The air - respiratory tract travels: This is a infection way of main tuberculosis. The tubercle bacillus exists in the tuberculosis focuses of lung and bronchus, or in the space of lung, secretion phlegm liquid of the trachea. When at the patient speaks loudly, cough, sneeze, will release a lot of tiny droplets, a cough of patient may release 3500 droplets, there are more droplets while sneezing hard. Among them the droplets greater in volume sink rapidly, to the ground, others passes little droplets and evaporates in the air quickly, 5- 10 droplets of diameter those can until air float midium or long term only, if susceptible person suck such with tubercle bacillus droplets, can be infected. In addition, it is an important infection route too to spit and infect, if pulmonary tuberculosis patient spits the phlegm including tubercle bacillus on the ground, after the phlegm liquid is dry, tubercle bacillus and dust in the phlegm are mixed, fly upward in the air, it can cause and infect in the lung to suck by healthy people.
2,The food spreads: May be speckle with the tubercle bacillus on the tableware which the tuberculosis patient used, uneaten food, share tableware, take the intersection of patient and left food with the intersection of tuberculosis and patient for instance, take dish, eat soup, can introduce the tubercle bacillus to too in one bowl. Drinking can infect the ox type tubercle bacillus through disinfecting milk or dairy products,etc.. For arrange the intersection of fungus and patient, pour the intersection of phlegm and pot, make dirty the intersection of phlegm and liquid on hand because of carelessness, if wash hands half-heartedly, by may be infected too to eat to take the food in handing. Some women like chewing the food to feed babies with the mouth, if she is a person who arranges fungus of a pulmonary tuberculosis, then the baby will be probably infected. Generally speaking, the digestive tract has bigger resistance on tubercle bacillus, the tubercle bacillus enters stomach, very easy to be killed by a large amount of gastric acid, unless swallow a large amount of tubercle bacillus, otherwise not easy to infect. Because most of digestive tract tuberculosis are drunk and have not been caused by the milk of boiling.
3,Spread vertically: Mother who suffers from tuberculosis is during pregnancy, its internal tubercle bacillus can enter foetus' body through funicular blood, the foetus can also be infected with because of swallowing or sucking containing the amniotic fluid of the tubercle bacillus, make foetuses suffer from inborn tuberculosis.
Infect the way except being above-mentioned, the tubercle bacillus can also be infected directly by the wound of the skin or mucous membrane, because the tubercle bacillus can't penetrate the skin, this kind of infection way is relatively rare. In addition, tuberculosis is a disease that people and animals suffer from together, a lot of animals such as pig, cat, dog, ox, sheep, monkey,etc. can suffer from tuberculosis, the mankind often keeps in touch with these animals, can be infected by the animal who suffer from tuberculosis, can also pass one's own tuberculosis to animals raised.
The above-mentioned infection routes can well be cut off. The tuberculosis patient should accomplish: Don't while coughing, sneezing or talking and laughing loudly be against others, and is sealing the mouth with the towel; Different others and head, in case that infect while coughing at night while sleeping; Form the good hygienic habit, No Spitting; Oneself use one the intersection of bowls and chopsticks and spoon separately; Often wash and shine the bed clothes. The segregation that healthy people should pay attention to being opposite to ones that infect a issue of tuberculosis patient, avoid talking with the tuberculosis patient face-to-face at short range, non- edible uneaten food, patient of tuberculosis, pour phlegm want, wash hands, wait for with the soap conscientiously behind the pot.
