Tuberculosis latency does not require treatment if it does not develop. The latent period of tuberculosis generally does not require treatment if it does not develop. The latent period of tuberculosis refers to the time between the infection of the organism by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the onset of the disease, but during this period this Mycobacterium tuberculosis does not damage the lung tissue. Therefore, patients with latent TB do not need treatment when they are asymptomatic and do not develop the disease. TB is categorized as latent, inactive and and active. The latent period generally has no clinical symptoms and does not require treatment; inactive tuberculosis generally has no obvious symptoms and does not require special treatment; active tuberculosis often coughs up sputum, cough, hemoptysis, fever, loss of appetite and other symptoms, and need to be guided by a doctor to take anti-tuberculosis drugs for treatment, such as rifampicin, isoniazid and so on. Patients suffering from tuberculosis need to pay special attention to diet, tuberculosis patients should eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, eat more food with high vitamin content, less smoking, less alcohol. There is no need to treat tuberculosis in the latent stage, but if the above symptoms of active tuberculosis appear, you should consult a doctor for treatment in time.
