How to use tuberculosis disinfectant

Tuberculosis is a relatively serious disease and is contagious, so prevention of tuberculosis should start from every detail in life. We should use disinfectants correctly, control the source of infection, and cut off the route of transmission. Tuberculosis patients must wear masks when traveling to avoid transmitting the disease to other people through the respiratory tract, especially if there are tuberculosis patients in the family. More attention should be paid.

1. Prevention of tuberculosis should start from three aspects

1. Control the source of infection, 2. Cut off the transmission route, 3. Protect people who are susceptible to infection. For patients whose sputum contains tuberculosis bacteria, they should be isolated and treated properly. Pulmonary tuberculosis is mainly transmitted through respiratory tract infection. When patients with pulmonary tuberculosis go out, it is best to wear a mask to prevent the tuberculosis bacteria from spreading to normal people through the respiratory tract. For those who are weak and susceptible to infection, appropriate measures should be taken if the tuberculin test is positive.

2. Actively treat and pay attention to isolation

After discovering that a family member has pulmonary tuberculosis, the patient can be hospitalized or not. If there are tuberculosis bacilli in the patient's sputum, it means that the patient's condition is still in the active stage and must be actively treated, and attention must be paid to isolation to prevent infection to family members. If there are tuberculosis bacilli in the patient's sputum, it means that his sputum is contagious and must be strictly managed.

3. Tuberculosis patients should not spit anywhere

Because their sputum contains tuberculosis bacteria, which will fly everywhere with the dust in the air and may cause infection when inhaled by people with low immunity. They should spit on paper and burn it. This is the only way to kill the tuberculosis bacteria in the sputum. If the sputum of a tuberculosis patient is yellow, it indicates a secondary bacterial infection and anti-inflammatory treatment is also required.

4. It is best to keep the tableware used by tuberculosis patients separate from that used by their family members.

Use serving chopsticks and put dishes on a separate plate for tuberculosis patients. Although tuberculosis patients mainly spread the disease through the respiratory tract, we still need to pay attention to prevention in our daily lives. For family members who often come into contact with tuberculosis patients, a tuberculin test should be done. If they have close contact with tuberculosis patients and the tuberculin test is positive, preventive chemotherapy can be given.
