What to do if lymph node tuberculosis recurs? It is caused by these reasons

The inability of surgery to completely remove local necrotic lesions is the key reason for the recurrence of lymph tuberculosis. In this case, you must go to a professional hospital for examination and treatment, and the key is to treat the disease according to its cause.

First, surgery cannot completely remove local necrotic lesions. First of all, the trabeculae in the bone marrow cavity are arranged vertically and horizontally, and the bacterial infection has no obvious boundaries. The surgical debridement with the naked eye can only remove the large dead bones or inflammatory bones, but the tiny inflammations in the gaps between the trabeculae cannot be completely removed by surgery. Even if antibiotic flushing is used, the inflammation cannot be eliminated because the penetration effect of the antibiotics is not very good. If the inflammation is not completely eliminated, the infection will recur. Secondly, after the operation, an open wound is created locally, which comes into contact with the air and causes secondary infection.

The second is the failure of anti-tuberculosis treatment. One reason is that due to the anti-tuberculosis drugs themselves, the current anti-tuberculosis drugs are not very effective against tuberculosis bacteria. Secondly, the blood supply to the bone and joint areas is poor, and neither oral medications nor traditional topical medications can reach them. Even if they do reach some of them, the concentration is very low and cannot exert its efficacy, and it is easy for tuberculosis bacteria to develop drug resistance.

The third is the cause of endogenous pathogenic bacteria studied in medicine. After macrophages engulf tuberculosis bacteria, they cannot kill them completely and they wander around locally or in the body. When the body's resistance is low, the disease occurs again. Another cause is the L-type bacteria after bacterial mutation. L-type bacteria are drug-resistant and can revert to their ancestral form, causing the disease to relapse.

So what treatment should be chosen for lymph node tuberculosis? How can we completely cure lymph tuberculosis?

It can not only avoid surgical damage to tissues and eliminate the chance of secondary infection, but also completely kill tuberculosis bacteria without damaging the liver and kidneys. The key is to treat the disease according to its symptoms.
