The first sputum in the morning contains blood

Blood in the first spit of phlegm in the morning is a problem that many people have. This problem may also be caused by many diseases, such as tuberculosis, pharyngitis and bronchiectasis, which can all cause symptoms of blood in sputum. These diseases are very harmful to human health, so they must be treated in a timely manner, otherwise the condition will worsen and even pose a threat to the patient's life!

tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that can invade many organs, with pulmonary tuberculosis infection being the most common. People who excrete bacteria are an important source of infection. A person does not necessarily develop tuberculosis after being infected with tuberculosis bacteria. Clinical illness may only occur when the body's resistance is reduced or cell-mediated allergic reactions increase. If diagnosed promptly and treated appropriately, most patients can recover clinically.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis belongs to the genus Mycobacterium in the family Mycobacterium, order Actinomycetales, and is a pathogenic, acid-resistant bacterium. It is mainly divided into human, cow, bird, mouse and other types. Those that are pathogenic to humans are mainly human-type bacteria, while bovine-type bacteria rarely cause infection. The drug resistance of tuberculosis bacteria can be formed by the development of innate drug-resistant bacteria in the bacterial flora, or it can be caused by the rapid development of resistance to the drug when a single anti-tuberculosis drug is used in the human body, that is, the acquisition of drug-resistant bacteria. Drug-resistant bacteria can cause difficulties in treatment and affect the efficacy of treatment.

Pharyngitis

Pharyngitis is a disease caused by bacteria and is divided into acute pharyngitis and chronic pharyngitis. Acute pharyngitis is often caused by viruses or bacteria. It is most common in winter and spring. It is often secondary to acute rhinitis, acute sinusitis, and acute tonsillitis. Chronic pharyngitis is mainly caused by repeated attacks of acute pharyngitis due to incomplete treatment, which turns into a chronic disease, or by nasal obstruction, long-term mouth breathing, physical and chemical factors, neck radiotherapy, etc. that stimulate the pharynx.

Bronchiectasis

Bronchiectasis is caused by chronic suppurative inflammation and fibrosis of the bronchi and surrounding lung tissue, which destroys the muscle and elastic tissue of the bronchial wall, leading to bronchial deformation and persistent dilatation. Typical symptoms include chronic cough, coughing up large amounts of purulent sputum, and repeated hemoptysis. The main causes of the disease are bronchial infection, obstruction and traction, and some are congenital genetic factors. Most patients have a history of measles, whooping cough or bronchopneumonia.
