The cough and fever did not recover. After going to the hospital for examination, the left lung was "disappeared". Today, the reporter learned from Wenzhou Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital that the patient's disappearing left lung tissue was actually gnawed off by bacteria, and a huge hole was formed. After treatment, the patient has been discharged from the hospital successfully, but the possibility of reinfection in his lungs cannot be ruled out.
A month ago, 25-year-old Lili (pseudonym) suddenly coughed and had a fever, and her body temperature rose to above 39℃. "I feel soft all over, I have no strength at all, and I have unprecedented difficulty in breathing!" Seeing that the condition continued, Lili went to the Municipal Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine for treatment. During the
CT imaging examination, the tissue in the patient's left lung had been "eated" by tuberculosis bacteria , and a huge hole was formed.
was checked through CT. The doctor found that Lili's left lung was missing and there was a lot of effusion in her left chest cavity, so she immediately arranged for her to be admitted to the hospital. Through thoracic puncture surgery, pleural fluid was extracted for examination, and the doctor finally found the "masterpiece" - Mycobacterium tuberculosis .
It turns out that Lili had tuberculosis . At first, she had been receiving regular treatment. In recent years, she saw no symptoms, so she did not go for a follow-up examination until the high fever did not subside.
Jin Chenci, chief physician of the Department of Respiratory Medicine of the Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital, said that if the treatment of tuberculosis is not treated in time, the tuberculosis bacteria will continue to reproduce and develop in the body, and then spread to other organs, which may cause a series of complications.
The pus extracted from the hollow of the lungs by the doctor.
During the hospitalization, the doctor drained pleural effusion from Lili's chest cavity and then rinsed repeatedly. After more than ten days of treatment, Lili's body temperature returned to normal, and her chest tightness and coughing symptoms improved greatly, but her left lung no longer had any function.
"Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a bacteria, and infecting tuberculosis does not mean the disease. Once the human immunity decreases, tuberculosis bacteria may reproduce in large quantities, causing tuberculosis." Jin Chenci introduced that Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a kind of "eating lung bacteria", which not only damages the lungs, but also "eats" the lungs.
At present, Lili has been discharged from the hospital successfully, but the doctor told her not to be too tired in normal times, otherwise her immunity will decrease and her left lung will still be infected again, and the situation may be more serious.
Jin Chenci introduced -
Patients suffering from infectious tuberculosis cough, spit, sneeze, etc. will bring the sputum containing tuberculosis bacillus out of the body. Healthy people may be infected by inhaling droplets containing tuberculosis bacteria or aerosol . However, tuberculosis can be prevented, controlled and cured. As long as scientific and reasonable treatment is detected in the early stage, the cure rate is very high. To prevent tuberculosis, the most important thing is to strengthen resistance. First of all, you should ensure regular daily routines and healthy diet to improve the body's immunity, and at the same time, regular physical examinations should be conducted to achieve early detection and early treatment of diseases.
