Symptoms, treatment of tuberculosis is what

The germs that can cause disease in any part of the body: tuberculosis, bone tuberculosis, skin tuberculosis, renal tuberculosis, TB meningitis, TB tests, etc. Tuberculosis is the most common, less common extrapulmonary TB . Only new tuberculosis transmission.
 
People with TB often have the following symptoms:
- Coughing lasts over 3 weeks
- Slim Shot, poor appetite, fatigue
- Slight fever pm
- Sweating Night
- Chest pain, shortness of breath
- Coughing up blood

  Who is TB?

- People living with TB patients have bacteria in conversation, especially children and youth
- People living with HIV / AIDS
- The malnutrition, diabetes, drug addicts, drug users and prolonged immune suppression: corticoid
- The homeless, prison, suspect lives in prison.

  What to do when suspected TB?

When there are symptoms mentioned above consider tuberculosis, and go to the right of the District Labour Organization, the healthcare facility medical examination for occupational therapist examination, chest x-ray and the most important TB germs are looking for in the talks. There, patients will be tested 3 sputum: 1 sample in situ visits 1, sample 2 and sample 3 obtained in the in situ visit 2 the next day. Patients should note the correct depth technical sputum, saliva or water does not get the nose. If TB bacteria found in phlegm, whose symptoms were infected with tuberculosis. If you do not find TB, TB specialist will guide the patient in need next.

7. TB patients will be treated like?

After being diagnosed with TB, patients will be collected in the course of treatment under the National TB Program (CTCLQG) in the group of patients where TB County District resident. Patients were treated under DOTS. All of CTCLQG anti-TB drugs are provided free for patients.

What is DOTS?

Since 1994, WHO-World has recommended TB control strategy known as DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment, Short - course) means "The short-term chemotherapy has direct control" . CTCLQG strategy now is to apply this recommendation.

The purpose of DOTS is:

- The cure for patients

- Shorten the time spread of disease

- Avoid resistance

Contents:

- Directly supervise the use of each dose of patients, ensuring patients the right drug, right dose, steady and sufficient time. The monitoring will be carried out at Lao County district, regional polyclinics, commune health stations. Relatives of patients also have the responsibility to participate remind patients.

- Phase attack: at least 4 major types S, H, R, Z for 2-3 months

- Maintenance phase: at least 2 drugs, duration of 4-6 months.

How to cure TB?

- TB is treatable. Patients should begin treatment as soon as possible after being diagnosed, especially the M tuberculosis (+), ie the bacteria seen directly in the negotiations. However, TB treatment requires a long time, patients need to understand and adhere to the principles of treatment: the right dose of medication, regular, full-time.
- Why?
As in humans with TB bacilli population many different employees:

· Group bacilli active and reproduction: This type of work can be found in the cave, which are suspended in normal lung parlance. This group susceptible TB drugs kill.

· Group slow reproduction in macrophages, hard to kill.

· Group sleeping, reproduction is extremely slow, scattered in the tissue. The bacteria in this group do not reproduce but still alive. When the body's resistance weakened they will work again. This group is very difficult to destroy.

On the other hand, TB bacteria are characterized by a number of naturally occurring bacteria that are resistant to anti-TB drugs, called resistance (drug withdrawal). As crowded as some bacteria have the ability to have multiple drug-resistant bacteria.
- So want to be cured of tuberculosis:

· Destroy all the people of TB

· Do not have drug resistance occurs

- Therefore, the treatment of tuberculosis is based on the following principles:

· Coordinate multiple anti-TB drugs to avoid the appearance of drug-resistant bacteria. During the attack phase to coordinate drug 3-4, stage 2-3 to maintain drug combination.

· Use the correct dose of medication: a low dose is not effective prone resistant organisms, high doses likely to cause complications

· Take your medicine regularly: the employee must inject drugs and drinking at the same time and hour fixed for the medicine to reach peak blood. Medications to take away meals for maximum absorption into the bloodstream.

· Taking time to avoid recurrence: current TB treatment consists of two stages:

Offensive: lasts 2-3 months, the goal is to quickly reduce the number of germs including viruses from sleep, to prevent drug-resistant mutants

Maintain: lasts 4-6 months, the goal is to kill all the germs left to avoid recurrence.

Comply with the above principles, TB will be cured easily. Do not hold true in principle, taking wrong dose, irregular, not enough time, the disease can not be cured. The patient can be fatal, the disease becomes chronic and infect others, and while it is true that an incurable stock!
