Tuberculosis and the weather

With the end of the summer vacation, the students are about to start school. Different from the past, before the start of school, schools in many areas require students to do nucleic acid testing. Moreover, students who live in boarding schools and eat at school also require students to have tuberculosis tests. So, why do they need to have a TB check-up before school starts? That's because tuberculosis is an infectious disease, so tuberculosis screening should be done before school starts to reduce the chance of transmission.

Is tuberculosis examination a must? Tuberculosis examination is not required in all schools. If the school you need to go to requires you to do so, then you have to do this check. If the school does not emphasize the need to do this check, then you can not do this check. However, boarding schools generally require tuberculosis screening.

What are the transmission routes of tuberculosis and what should be paid attention to? Through air infection, healthy people may be infected with tuberculosis after inhaling droplets or dust with bacteria, such as coughing and sneezing of tuberculosis patients, and may also be infected through the digestive tract, such as mixing rice and tableware with tuberculosis patients. Therefore, we should pay attention to personal hygiene at ordinary times and wear masks when going out to crowded places. If you cough, you should stay away.

What are the symptoms of tuberculosis patients? The typical symptoms of tuberculosis are cough and expectoration. If the cough and expectoration last for more than two weeks, and there is hemoptysis or blood in the sputum, you need to seek medical attention in time. In addition to the typical symptoms of cough and expectoration, other common symptoms include chest tightness, chest pain, low-grade fever in the afternoon, night sweats, fatigue, loss of appetite and weight loss.

The university has entered a new learning stage. Only by improving the body immunity and getting less sick can we study better. Therefore, it is necessary for us to have a physical examination before school starts. In the epidemic period, nucleic acid detection is necessary, and the other is the screening of infectious tuberculosis. It's best for everyone to make one.
