Will cured tuberculosis recur


Dedicated to your well-being.
Cured tuberculosis, is completely can relapse. One is determined by the nature of tuberculosis itself, after tuberculosis itself cured, in fact, is a clinical cure, tuberculosis bacteria actually can not be completely removed from the body, it is latent in the body, so that in the future when immune function is low, can be activated again, causing tuberculosis, so tuberculosis itself, is easy to relapse a disease. Second, if the anti-tuberculosis drugs selected during the treatment of tuberculosis are irregular, or the course of treatment is not enough, and the drugs are stopped prematurely, resulting in incomplete clinical cure, the probability of recurrence in the future will obviously increase at this time. In addition, for some patients, may be due to other diseases, need to use immunosuppressants, need to use glucocorticoids, and chemotherapy drugs, and even some anti-rejection drugs, these drugs will cause the body's immunity to decline, if the original tuberculosis, during the future use of these drugs, will reactivate tuberculosis, causing tuberculosis recurrence. Therefore, for tuberculosis, the future recurrence rate can be increased. Cured tuberculosis is likely to relapse. The so-called clinical cure of tuberculosis, in fact, is not completely eliminated tuberculosis bacteria, there will be some pathogens latent in the human body, if the patient in the future shows low immune function, these agents will be reactivated, resulting in relapse. If in the course of treatment, treatment is irregular, treatment is insufficient; Or when the patient needs hormones or immunosuppressants for other diseases, the chance of recurrence increases significantly.
