Clinically, the occurrence of lymphatic tuberculosis is mostly caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Therefore, whether lymphatic tuberculosis is contagious has become a matter of great concern to everyone. Next, let’s understand whether lymphatic tuberculosis is contagious.

1. First of all: Lymph node tuberculosis is a primary infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the oral cavity and nasopharynx, especially the tonsillar glands, through the upper respiratory tract or with food. Lymph node tuberculosis is different from pulmonary tuberculosis. Lymph node tuberculosis is not infectious disease.

2. Secondly: Lymph node tuberculosis is not contagious, but lymph node tuberculosis patients are generally caused by pulmonary tuberculosis, etc. Whether it is contagious depends on whether the pulmonary fusion is in the active stage. Generally speaking, , if there is Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the patient's sputum, the infection will occur, but there are also patients with simple lymph node tuberculosis.

3. Finally: lymphatic tuberculosis does not excrete bacteria and is not contagious. Only secretions from suppuration, ulceration, and fistulas are contagious and are contact infections.
