Chapter 141

[The six most terrible infectious diseases in popular science. 】

[Fourth place: tuberculosis.] 】

What is the most successful infectious disease in history?]

[The answer may surprise many people, and it is tuberculosis. 】

[Data show that the number of cases of tuberculosis in the world is as high as 10.4 million per year, and the number of deaths per year is 1.7 million. 】

[Pulmonary tuberculosis refers to the occurrence of tuberculosis lesions in the lungs, trachea, bronchi, and pleura.] 】

[Tuberculosis is also known as tuberculosis. 】

[The world's recorded history can be traced back to 6,000 years ago. 】

[The symptoms after infection are as follows:]

[Cough, sputum production for 2 weeks, or blood or hemoptysis in the sputum are suspicious symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis.] 】

[Most tuberculosis has a slow onset, and some patients may have no obvious symptoms.] 】

[As the lesion progresses, cough, sputum, blood in the sputum or hemoptysis may occur, and some patients may have recurrent symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection. 】

Pulmonary tuberculosis can also present with systemic symptoms, such as night sweats, fatigue, intermittent or persistent afternoon low-grade fever, loss of appetite, weight loss, etc. 】

[A small number of patients have a sudden onset, with moderate and high fever, and some are accompanied by varying degrees of dyspnea. 】

[The lesion occurs in pleural 31, and there may be symptoms such as irritating cough, chest pain and dyspnea.] 】

[Lesions occur in the trachea and bronchi, most of them have irritating cough, which lasts for a long time, and bronchial lymphatic fistula forms and breaks into the bronchial tubes or bronchial stenosis, and may have stridor or dyspnea. 】

[A small number of patients may be accompanied by tuberculous hypersensitivity syndrome, including: erythema nodosum, herpetic conjunctivitis/keratitis, etc.] 】

[Tuberculosis in children can also be characterized by developmental delay, often wheezing symptoms. 】

[When extrapulmonary tuberculosis is present, symptoms of organ involvement may occur. 】

[Transmission route:]

[Tuberculosis is mainly transmitted through the respiratory tract, when the patient coughs, sneezes, speaks loudly or spits, the droplets containing the tuberculosis bacillus are excreted from the body, forming microdroplets with the bacteria floating in the air, which are inhaled by others and cause infection. 】

[People who have been in close contact with tuberculosis patients for a long time are very likely to be infected. 】

[A tuberculosis patient may infect 10-15 new patients (or more) each year.] 】

However, not all carriers of Mycobacterium tuberculosis will develop the disease. 】

[The body of some latent infected people can automatically eliminate germs, and more people can continue to be latent infected for several years or even a lifetime, which is closely related to the immune status of the body.] 】

[In people who are in the incubation period of tuberculosis, the tuberculosis bacillus is in a dormant state in the human body, which is not active and is not infectious. 】

【Treatment:】

[1. Medication. 】

[The main effect of drug treatment is to shorten the infectious period, reduce mortality, infection rate and prevalence. 】

[For each specific patient, in order to achieve the main measures to achieve clinical and biological cure, rational treatment refers to the principle of early, combined, appropriate, regular and whole-course use of sensitive drugs for active tuberculosis. 】

[(1) Early treatment. Administer treatment as soon as it is detected and confirmed;

[(2) Hybrid. According to the condition and the characteristics of the anti-tuberculosis drug, two or more drugs are combined to enhance and ensure the efficacy;

[(3) Appropriate amount.] Different dosages are prescribed according to different conditions and different individuals;】

[(4) Regularity. Patients must strictly follow the medication prescribed in the treatment plan, adhere to the treatment regularly, and cannot change the regimen or stop the drug at will without reason, nor can they interrupt the drug at will;

[(5) The whole process.] Patients must adhere to the full course of treatment according to the treatment plan, and the short course is usually 6~9 months. 】

[Generally speaking, treatment-naïve patients are treated according to the above principles, and the efficacy is as high as 98%, and the recurrence rate is less than 2%. 】

[2. Surgical treatment.] 】

[Surgery has been rarely used in the treatment of tuberculosis. 】

【......】

[3. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment. 】

[Ge Kejiu of the Yuan Dynasty, the first book on the treatment of tuberculosis "Ten Medicines Divine Book", recorded ten kinds of prescriptions for the treatment of fatigue and vomiting blood, which laid the foundation for the systematic use of tuberculosis. 】

[The ten prescriptions are as follows:]

【...】

[During the Ming and Qing dynasties, doctors realized that the treatment of tuberculosis was closely related to the nutritional conditions of patients, and detailed various edible medicinal and dietary materials suitable for tuberculosis patients in "Phlegm Fire and Snow":]

[Such as otter liver, eel, soft-shelled turtle, pork belly, pork liver, mutton, etc.] 】

[This is consistent with today's idea of "supplementing the diet of tuberculosis patients with high-quality protein". 】

【......】

Unlike the flu before them, the ancients paid significantly more attention to tuberculosis and feared it.

Now I see the treatment, and I am overjoyed.

My daughter-in-law happened to be suffering from tuberculosis, so she tried these ten prescriptions. "

"Brother, there are ten prescriptions, can you try it?"

"What are you afraid of, if each prescription is only prescribed for a few days, it will definitely cure the disease. "

"It turns out that I am sick, and it is really useful to eat something good, I didn't believe it before. "

“......"

Qin Dynasty.

The doctors excitedly held pens and jot down the prescriptions.

These are priceless treasures.

Experience in seeing a doctor that you can't buy with money.

"Well, there is finally a cure for tuberculosis. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The doctors wept with joy.

In the past, they were more powerless in the face of tuberculosis, and could only prescribe medicine to patients based on their feelings.

The actual effect is very limited.

Now there are ten prescriptions!

One doesn't work, it can be replaced directly until it is effective.

In addition, according to the prescription, the drug can be reversed and the patient can be prescribed a prescription that is more in line with the condition.

Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Quick, write down all the prescriptions, and then the widow will get a booklet for the treatment of infectious diseases and distribute it to the village chiefs of each village." "

Three Kingdoms period.

Cao Cao's eyes widened.

Keep staring at the light curtain.

However, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

"Ahh

Cao Cao was so angry that he overturned the decoction in front of him. []

"Take it away! This broken decoction has been drunk for several years, and it has not cured Gu's headache. "

After the fire.

Cao Cao continued to stare at the wide-eyed 187, looked at the light curtain and muttered, "Lone wants a prescription for treating his head disease, and he wants a prescription for treating his head disease..."

Looking at the stunned Cao Cao, Xu Chu suddenly turned around.

As he walked, he shouted: "I'll go and arrest Hua Tuo." "

Cao Cao exclaimed: "Xu Chu, stop, you arrest him, he will open Gu's head again! Let him stay in the prison." "

Song dynasty.

The emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, who cherished their lives like gold, were all very diligent.

Immediately ordered all the prescriptions to be written down.

They don't necessarily learn science weapons seriously.

But if it can save lives and prolong life, the popular science content will be directly fatal!

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Di stroked his beard and laughed.

"Write them all down, and don't miss a word. "

"Yes, Your Majesty!" said the official in charge of the transcription.
