What vegetables are forbidden for tuberculosis patients

Tuberculosis was a difficult disease to cure in the past, but with the continuous development of medical technology, we now have good treatment options for tuberculosis. Although it cannot be said that it can be cured 100%, the probability of death from tuberculosis is gradually decreasing. For tuberculosis patients, in addition to normal drug treatment, what kind of food should they avoid eating in their daily diet?

Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis may invade various organs in the human body, but mainly invade the lungs, which is called pulmonary tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis is a chronic and slow-onset infectious disease that is common among young people. The incubation period is 4 to 8 weeks. 80% of them occur in the lungs, and other parts (cervical lymph nodes, meninges, peritoneum, intestines, skin, and bones) may also be secondarily infected. Respiratory transmission between people is the main way of transmission of this disease. The source of infection is contact with tuberculosis patients who excrete bacteria. With the spread of environmental pollution and AIDS, the incidence of tuberculosis has become increasingly serious. Except for a few cases with acute onset, most cases present a chronic course clinically. There are often systemic symptoms such as low fever and fatigue, and respiratory system manifestations such as cough and hemoptysis.

Before determining the treatment principles and selecting the therapy, the type of tuberculosis and the current progression and condition of the lesions should be determined, and the presence of active tuberculosis in other parts of the body other than the lungs should be checked. At the same time, follow the following treatment principles:

1. There are many bacteria in early lesions, so drugs are more likely to work;

2. The dosage is appropriate to achieve the maximum bactericidal or bacteriostatic effect, while being easily tolerated by patients and with little toxicity;

3. Combined use of drugs can prevent the development of drug resistance. Combined use of drugs can also select drugs for bacteria in various metabolic states and intracellular and extracellular bacteria, thus achieving the purpose of enhancing drug efficacy;

4. Medication cannot be discontinued at will. Intermittent therapy has specific requirements on dosage and interval, and its usage also has certain rules, which does not belong to intermittent therapy;

5. Chemotherapy must be continued throughout the entire course, with the aim of eliminating persistent bacteria and preventing recurrence. The full course is not necessarily a long one.

Only by following the above five principles, early, appropriate, combined, regular and full course, can we ensure thorough treatment.
