Be alert to tuberculosis and fungal infections

Abstract: Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which can invade many organs and is most common in tuberculosis of the lungs. The bacteria are important sources of infection. The human body is not necessarily infected after infection with tuberculosis. When the resistance is reduced or the cell-mediated allergic reaction is increased, it may cause clinical disease. If diagnosed in time and treated reasonably, most of them will be cured.
Beware of tuberculosis complicated with fungal infection, tuberculosis, a newly completed case of a large sample of 671 cases of tuberculosis, found that the simple infection rate was 69.30%, combined with a variety of pulmonary fungal infection rate of 30.70%.

Be alert to tuberculosis and fungal infections

This data suggests that it is urgent to raise awareness of the mechanism of fungal infections, strengthen the monitoring of nosocomial infections, and strengthen the scientific and rational application of antibiotics to reduce the harm caused by fungal infections.

Further statistical analysis showed that tuberculosis complicated with pulmonary fungal infections, males were significantly higher than females, and those aged 19-60 years were more likely to be infected than other age groups. In 206 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with pulmonary fungal infection, the infection rate of antibiotics for one month was zero, 31.6% for 7-12 months, and 48.5% for more than one year.


Some fungi are not pathogenic to the human body, but improper use of antibiotics or immunosuppressive agents can cause normal colony imbalance and overgrowth.

Tips for tuberculosis experts: Be alert to tuberculosis complicated with fungal infections, tuberculosis, the longer the use of antibiotics, the higher the infection rate, I hope to help you.
