This "top killer of infectious diseases", you need to know

       You need to know the number one killer of this epidemic

　　"End the epidemic of tuberculosis and breathe freely and healthily."

　　Many people believe that tuberculosis has always been a "past style". The story of Xiao Shuan, the son of the "Hualao Shuan couple", who was described by Lu Xun as buying blood steamed buns for treatment, disappeared in the long history.

　　In fact, tuberculosis is not far away, it may be next to you.

　　Let's look at several sets of WHO data on tuberculosis:

　　——One of the top 10 causes of death in the world;

　　Since 2007. it has been the main cause of a single infectious disease;

　　Nearly 2 billion people in the world may be infected with tuberculosis;

　　The annual number of newly infected TB patients worldwide is about 10 million, with nearly 1.5 million deaths;

　　Are you surprised? Are you surprised?

　　Let's take a look at this "top killer of infectious diseases".

　　1. Tuberculosis in the history of human development

　　Tuberculosis is an infectious disease in history, which has been a human disaster for thousands of years.

　　Tuberculosis stoves can be found in mummies of ancient Egyptian pyramids and mummies unearthed from Mawangdui.

　　Chopin, Chekhov and Vivien Li from abroad, Lu Xun and Lin Huiyin from China all died of tuberculosis.

　　Literary works are also full of descriptions of tuberculosis, such as Hua Xiaoshuan in Lu Xun's "Medicine", Lin Daiyu in Cao Xueqin's "Dream of the Red Chamber", Margaret in Dumas Dumas' "La Traviata", and so on.

　　In our country, tuberculosis is called "phthisis". There is a saying that "phthisis" means 10 phthisis and 9 deaths.

　　After the European Industrial Revolution, large-scale socialized production led to a large number of workers concentrated, leading to the rapid spread of tuberculosis, known as the "white plague".

　　Until the invention of streptomycin in the 1940s, tuberculosis was regarded as a terminal disease.

　　2. Origin of World Tuberculosis Day

　　On March 24. 1882. Robert Koch, a German scientist, announced at the Berlin Physiology Conference that TB was the pathogenic bacterium of tuberculosis, which laid the foundation for the treatment of tuberculosis. Tuberculosis was an infectious disease that had ravaged mankind for thousands of years.

　　In 1995. the World Health Organization (WHO) commemorated this important discovery and designated March 24 as World Tuberculosis Day, thereby raising public awareness of tuberculosis.

　　3. Transmission and risk of tuberculosis

　　Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

　　In addition to nails and hair, it can invade various organs and organs of the body, but it mainly invades the lungs, causing pulmonary tuberculosis.

　　Its symptoms include cough, expectoration for more than 2 weeks, fever, night sweat, fatigue, etc.

　　The transmission route is that the person carrying pulmonary tuberculosis is inhaled by the surrounding people through talking droplets, coughing or sneezing, thus being infected.

　　In densely populated places, such as schools, prisons, elderly care institutions, etc.

　　Once there is a long-term source of infection, it is easy to cause an aggregated epidemic, or even a public health emergency, which poses a great threat to public health and causes social panic.

　　4. Epidemic situation of tuberculosis

　　The World People's Health Service Organization (WHO) reported that since the 1990s, tuberculosis has resurged in all parts of the world. It is not only a national public safety and health management problem, but also a serious social, economic and political education problem.

　　According to WHO estimates, in 2019. the number of people infected with tuberculosis in the world will be closer to 2 billion, and the number of new tuberculosis patients in the world will be about 10 million.

　　In recent years, the number of cases in our government each year exceeds 800000.

　　5. The importance of standardizing the whole treatment process

　　As long as the standard treatment of tuberculosis, most can be cured.

　　If the treatment is not standardized, it will not only affect the recovery of the body, but also cause refractory drug-resistant tuberculosis.

　　At present, China is still one of the 30 countries with high burden of tuberculosis, and the number of cases ranks third in the world.

　　6. Policies for the benefit of the people in the fight against tuberculosis

　　At present, the state provides certain relief policies for tuberculosis.

　　The main patients and close contacts were provided with sputum pathogenic examination, chest imaging examination and first-line anti tuberculosis drugs.

　　For 6 types of tuberculosis, including newly treated tuberculosis, retreated tuberculosis, tuberculous pleurisy, single drug resistant tuberculosis, multi drug resistant tuberculosis, and multi drug resistant tuberculosis, outpatient and inpatient services will be paid according to the disease type, and included in the medical insurance for major and serious diseases.

　　7. How to prevent tuberculosis in daily life

　　Do not spit everywhere, avoid others when coughing or sneezing, and cover your mouth and nose can reduce the spread of tuberculosis.

　　Tuberculosis patients should not go to public places where there are many people.

　　If necessary, you should wear a mask.

　　Tuberculosis patients receiving treatment at home should try to live in separate rooms with others, keep indoor ventilation and wear masks to prevent family members from being infected.

　　Frequently open windows for ventilation, strengthen nutrition, exercise appropriately, and improve the body's resistance will help prevent tuberculosis.

　　8. Efforts to end the epidemic of tuberculosis in the future

　　The United Nations has put forward the vision of ending tuberculosis and ending the epidemic of tuberculosis by 2035. which requires concerted action by the whole society.

　　Let's join hands and participate together to raise the awareness of the whole society to fight tuberculosis and eliminate the harm of tuberculosis!
