Cheng Shiming, Secretary-General of China Tuberculosis Association and Deputy Director of Tuberculosis Control Center of China CDC, said that when a patient is diagnosed with tuberculosis, don't be too worried and pessimistic, and take a positive attitude to cooperate with the treatment.

The course of treatment for newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis patients is 6 months, and the treatment principles include "early detection and early treatment, combined use of different drugs, regular medication, appropriate medication according to the patient's condition, and full treatment". Cheng Shiming pointed out that as long as patients follow the treatment principles of tuberculosis, most tuberculosis can be cured.

Extended data:

According to Beijing Daily, TB patients spread TB bacteria into the air through coughing, expectoration and sneezing, and healthy people may be infected by inhaling droplets with TB bacteria. The probability of a tuberculosis infected person suffering from tuberculosis is 5%- 10%.

If patients with infectious tuberculosis stay in densely populated places for a long time, others in the places are also at risk of contracting tuberculosis. Therefore, patients with infectious tuberculosis should wear masks when traveling, cover their mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, avoid others and avoid spitting. These good hygiene habits can effectively reduce the spread of tuberculosis.
