Patients with tuberculous arthritis usually have no obvious feeling, mainly because the affected area is swollen and the joint activity is limited, which is easy to be complicated with other infections. In the late stage, the joints are generally destroyed, and 30% of such patients will have symptoms of tuberculosis poisoning. Tuberculous osteomyelitis can occur in all bones of the whole body, especially in children. A few patients will have an acute onset, and the local affected area will feel swelling and pain, but there is no obvious symptom of skin temperature increase.
If there are symptoms of tuberculosis poisoning, patients will have symptoms such as loss of appetite, gradual weight loss, low fever and night sweats. Bone tuberculosis can also cause some complications, such as joint dislocation, joint deformity, joint stiffness and so on. Bone tuberculosis is caused by blood-borne pulmonary tuberculosis, and a small number of patients will have secondary intestinal tuberculosis, in which mycobacterium tuberculosis directly invades the human body through the skin, which is very rare. Bone tuberculosis is a secondary tuberculosis. Tuberculosis invades the human body, causing a series of pathological changes.
The onset process of bone tuberculosis patients is slow, and the symptoms are already in the late stage of tuberculosis. Therefore, people need to take some preventive measures to avoid bone tuberculosis. People who are in frequent contact with tuberculosis need to do a good job of daily isolation. Wearing masks and not eating cold food can reduce the chance of getting sick. If people have symptoms such as loss of appetite, low-grade fever in the afternoon, night sweats, general fatigue, etc., they need to seek medical attention immediately, so as not to delay the illness and aggravate the illness, and this tuberculosis is likely to be transmitted to relatives around them.
