Ileocecal tuberculosis is caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis! Intestinal tuberculosis is the most common form of tuberculosis of the digestive system. The vast majority are secondary to extraintestinal tuberculosis, especially cavitary tuberculosis. According to statistics, 25% to 50% of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis can be complicated by intestinal tuberculosis. Ileocecal tuberculosis is a type of tuberculosis. Many organs of the human body can get ileocecal tuberculosis, the most common is pulmonary tuberculosis, followed by intestinal tuberculosis, so intestinal tuberculosis is only second to pulmonary tuberculosis, one of the common tuberculosis. Below we will learn about how to prevent blindfold tuberculosis best: blindfold tuberculosis is often secondary to tuberculosis, so the diagnosis of the original disease should be actively treated, strengthen the public health campaigns to educate the patient to avoid swallowing sputum and not spitting, advocate the use of public chopsticks, milk should be fully sterilized. Early detection of tuberculosis patients and active guidance for treatment can greatly reduce the incidence of tuberculosis in the blindfold area. In addition, strengthening hygiene management, prohibiting spitting, practicing good dietary hygiene, and raising the awareness of all people to fight against tuberculosis are of some significance to its prevention. With the popularization and development of anti-tuberculosis drugs, ileus tuberculosis can be cured with adequate treatment on the basis of strengthening supportive therapy. In addition to the early use of drugs, the rational choice of anti-tuberculosis drugs, to ensure that the dose is sufficient, regular, the whole course of medication, is a key factor in determining the prognosis, strengthen the supportive therapy, to provide a quiet resting environment, fresh, easy to digest and absorb, nutrient-rich, vitamins, microelements, non-polluting food, for the recovery of the ileocecal tuberculosis is essential. Sources of infection. The main source of infection in tuberculosis is the patient with secondary tuberculosis. Since Mycobacterium tuberculosis is mainly dispersed with sputum expelled from the body, patients in whom Mycobacterium tuberculosis is detected in the sputum are infectious and are the source of infection. The degree of contagiousness depends on the amount of bacilli in the sputum. How can I tell if a patient with tuberculosis is contagious? A person who detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis on a direct smear is considered to have a large number of bacilli, while a person who is negative on a direct smear and only cultures Mycobacterium tuberculosis is considered to have a small number of bacilli. Route of transmission. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is mainly spread by coughing, sneezing, laughing, and talking loudly and releasing droplets containing Mycobacterium tuberculosis into the air. Droplet transmission is the most important way of spreading TB. Other routes of transmission, such as through the digestive tract and the skin, are now rare. Tell us about susceptible people. Factors that affect the body’s natural resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis include not only genetic factors, but also social factors such as living in poverty, overcrowding, and malnutrition. Infants and young children with an imperfect cellular immune system, the elderly, HIV-infected people, immunosuppressant users, and people with chronic illnesses who are immunocompromised are all susceptible to tuberculosis.
