Transmission routes of tuberculosis

Sometimes people are unknowingly entangled in some bad things, and tuberculosis is one of them. So what are the transmission routes of tuberculosis? In fact, in life, there are still many things that confuse us. The most important thing is to have a calm heart to deal with it. Because of this, people sometimes don’t understand their physical condition, but it doesn’t matter, as long as they can treat it well.

Are there many ways of transmission of this type of tuberculosis? I believe everyone should not be too afraid of this, because this disease is not scary. So if you want to know more about this disease, here is some information about the transmission routes of this type of tuberculosis.

Respiratory tract infection : is the main route of infection. Healthy children may become infected and develop primary lung lesions after inhaling bacteria-carrying droplets or dust.

Digestive tract infection : mostly caused by drinking unsterilized or poorly sterilized milk contaminated with bovine tuberculosis bacteria or other food contaminated with human tuberculosis bacteria, mostly occurs in the pharynx or intestinal primary lesions.

Other infections : Occasionally it can be transmitted through contact with broken skin, mucous membranes, reproductive organs, etc. Congenital tuberculosis can also be transmitted through the placenta or by inhalation of amniotic fluid, often resulting in miliary tuberculosis or genital tuberculosis shortly after birth. Humans are generally susceptible. Whether a person becomes ill after being infected depends on the number and virulence of the infected bacteria, and the body's nonspecific and specific resistance. Various factors such as nutritional status, mental stress, physical exhaustion, long-term use of corticosteroids, tumor chemotherapy, immunosuppressive therapy, diabetes, etc. can reduce the body's resistance, making it easy to be infected or causing tuberculosis to spread and worsen.

Through the above understanding and introduction, I believe everyone has a more detailed understanding of the transmission routes of this tuberculosis. At the same time, I also hope that everyone can treat this disease well. The most important thing is to do some exercises that are suitable for you, improve your physical fitness, and eat some plain and nutritious food.
