I can tell you for sure: Lymphatic tuberculosis is not contagious.

1. What is lymphatic tuberculosis?

Lymphatic tuberculosis is the abbreviation of lymph node tuberculosis. It is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is divided into primary and secondary forms.

Traditional Chinese medicine calls lymphatic tuberculosis "scrofula", and folk commonly calls lymphatic tuberculosis "mouse sore".

2. What should you do if you suffer from lymphatic tuberculosis?

When you are diagnosed with lymphatic tuberculosis, you should receive treatment as soon as possible without delay. Because: first, in the early stage of tuberculosis, the blood flow supply of the lesion is very good, which is conducive to the penetration of drugs and their entry into the lesion to exert their sterilizing effect. Secondly, there are a very small number of natural drug-resistant mutant strains in the tuberculosis group. If the number of bacteria in the lesion is large, there will be many drug-resistant strains. On the contrary, if the number of bacteria is small, there will be few drug-resistant strains. If treatment is not carried out in time and drug-resistant tuberculosis bacteria are allowed to multiply, it will lead to the formation of drug-resistant bacteria, resulting in treatment failure and a chronic disease that cannot be cured for a long time. Third, if treatment is not timely or ineffective, it is easy to infect other organs and cause tuberculosis complications. Therefore, early treatment can make early lesions disappear without even leaving traces.

In the early stages of lymphatic tuberculosis, there is generally no general discomfort, and patients often do not pay attention to it, causing the disease to be delayed and gradually worsened. There are also some patients who put off treatment again and again due to financial difficulties, busy work and other reasons. In the middle and late stages of the disease, systemic symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, anorexia, weight loss, and amenorrhea appeared. He visited many large traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, visited famous doctors for their secret recipes, spent countless money, and could not recover for a long time. Many patients were in so much pain that they really regretted it.

According to relevant data, if tuberculosis patients are diagnosed carefully but not treated, 40% of the patients will die after 2 years, 30% of the patients will turn negative and recover on their own, and the remaining 30% will Persistently positive sputum bacteria become a chronic case of bacterium excretion. After another 2 years, 10% of the patients with positive sputum bacteria died, and 5% of the patients with negative sputum bacteria relapsed. Therefore, if no treatment measures are taken, the five-year survival rate of such patients is 50%, and the possibility of spontaneous recovery is only 20%, or even smaller. Although these words are about patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, if patients with lymphatic tuberculosis are not treated seriously, they may also be infected and complicated by tuberculosis. Therefore, as a patient with lymphatic tuberculosis, early examination and early treatment should be carried out. Early treatment is less expensive, less painful, and easier to cure. Treatment in the middle and late stages is not only long and painful, but also more expensive. All in all, as a patient with lymphatic tuberculosis, whether for economic reasons or for your own health, you should get early examination and treatment and never delay the condition. Early treatment is a wise choice for patients with lymph node tuberculosis.
