The life expectancy of patients with TB pleurisy depends on the immunity of the patient and the severity of the disease, and cannot be generalized. If patients detect TB pleurisy early and take early, adequate, and regular medication to treat it with anti-tuberculosis treatment, including general treatment, chest fluid extraction, anti-tuberculosis treatment, and also Chinese herbal medicine, those who achieve a curative condition generally do not affect their survival time and are no different from normal people. Without standard treatment, it is likely to lead to the occurrence of refractory tuberculous pleurisy, which may affect respiratory function and lead to respiratory failure in the long run, and the survival period of patients will be shortened to about 3-6 months, and patients can have life-threatening conditions at any time. In addition, it is recommended that patients eat a light, easily digestible, high-calorie, high-protein diet to maintain the body’s needs to resist the consumption of the disease and to maintain a dynamic balance between the body’s intake and consumption.
