and then to test whether it is combined with TB. If somebody has close contact with silica dust, clinical manifestation and imaging features should be analyzed to make a comprehensive diagnosis of silicosis. Sputum smear or bacteria culture is the most reliable ...

It kills extracellular and slow-growing intracellular bacilli, thus contributing to its sterilizing activity [123,126]. It is an essential TB antibiotic used in all treatment phases and an inducer of several drug-metabolizing enzymes, especially the cytochrome CYP450 isoenzymes. This leads to a ...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a species of pathogenic bacteria resistant to currently available anti-TB drugs, is on the rise, threatening national and international TB-control efforts. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to estimate the pooled prevalence of drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) in ...
1、Pulmonary TuberculosisTuberculosis, commonly known as TB(short for tubercular bacillus) , is a worldwide contagious(传染性) and an often severeairborne disease caused by various strains ofmycobacteria (分支杆菌), usually Mycobacterium tuberculosis(结核分枝杆菌, MTB for short); typically attacks the...
Drug sensitivity testing is also should be performed and are particularly important in those with a previous history of TB, treatment failure or chronic disease Mycobacteria culture Culture remains the gold standard for laboratory confirmation of TB disease, and growing bacteria are required to perform...
It has a certain inhibitory effect; the three medicinal herbs of whole turtle, white monkshood and Baibu have a strong inhibitory effect on human tuberculosis bacteria without toxic side effects; Paojia beads can activate blood circulation, stimulate menstruation, lower breasts, reduce swelling and ...
