Do you need to be hospitalized in the early stages of tuberculosis?

For early appearing tuberculosis, hospitalization is not required in most cases. Due to the infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and inflammation of the lung, which belongs to the early stage, patients should combine anti-tuberculosis drugs, such as isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, pyrazinamide, etc., and take oral administration without hospitalization, and take the drugs at home by themselves, which can generally be cured in 6-9 months. During this period, it is important to observe the changes of the disease and to follow up promptly to check liver and kidney functions, blood sugar, blood lipids and blood routine to clarify the disease. For secondary tuberculosis, refractory tuberculosis and tuberculous pleurisy that appear, hospitalization is required in the early stage and the disease can be discharged only after remission.
