In this issue, let’s talk about tuberculosis and influenza , the “respiratory enemies”. Although they both love to get into the lungs , one is like an impatient executioner (influenza) and the other is like a latent killer (tuberculosis). Their personalities are very different! Get your melon seeds and stools ready, and let's dig into their "lung" stories! Tuberculosis vs. Flu Directly on the comparison table: Symptoms of tuberculosis Symptoms of the flu Prevention and control strategies 1. Common preventive measures Wearing a mask: Wear a medical mask in crowded places or when in contact with people with respiratory symptoms. Enhance immunity: balanced diet, regular work and rest, and moderate exercise. Environmental ventilation: Open windows frequently to ventilate the environment to reduce the spread of pathogens. 2. Core line of defense against tuberculosis Early diagnosis and early treatment: If you have a cough or sputum for more than 2 weeks, you should suspect that you have tuberculosis. See a doctor promptly and take medication as directed. Cut off the transmission chain: Cover the mouth and nose with a tissue when the patient coughs, disinfect the sputum, and close contacts should be screened. Intervention for high-risk groups: The elderly, people with diabetes, and people infected with HIV need regular chest X-ray examinations. For high-risk groups such as close contacts of pulmonary tuberculosis patients and people infected with HIV, preventive treatment should be actively carried out for people with latent tuberculosis infection, with a protective effect of 60-90% [1]. 3. Flu-specific prevention Vaccination: Get an influenza vaccine every year, which provides about 59% protection[2] and reduces the risk of severe illness. Antiviral drugs: Antiviral drugs (neuraminidase inhibitors or polymerase inhibitors) can shorten the course of the disease if used within 48 hours of onset.
