Does tuberculosis affect the rest of your life?

Tuberculosis usually does not affect the whole life. Tuberculosis is a curable disease and can be cured by standardized anti-tuberculosis treatment with relatively good efficacy, and it is not contagious and does not affect normal lung function. The principles of tuberculosis treatment are early, regular, full course, appropriate dosage and combination therapy, in which isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol, etc. can be applied, and the whole course of treatment is supervised and chemotherapy management strategy is implemented. Each dose must be administered under the direct supervision of medical staff or trained home supervisors, and remedial measures need to be taken when medication is not administered for any reason to ensure that it is administered regularly as prescribed. Treatment of tuberculosis is not only about sterilization and prevention of drug resistance development, but also about final sterilization and prevention and elimination of recurrence.
