Is the cost of tuberculosis reimbursed by the state?

Our country’s party and government attach great importance to tuberculosis prevention and control. In particular, the State Council formulated the National Tuberculosis Prevention and Control Plan (2001-2010). The guiding principles point out: "Give key assistance to the western region and poor people; implement centralized management and supervised treatment of tuberculosis patients; implement the policy of "collection, reduction, and exemption" of treatment fees for tuberculosis patients. For infectious tuberculosis patients who have no ability to pay Patients are treated free of charge." This fully reflects the concern of the party and the government for the broad masses of the people. At present, most

provinces in my country have implemented tuberculosis control projects with different funding sources. In all provinces where the project is implemented, free examinations and free anti-tuberculosis drug treatment are provided for patients with infectious pulmonary tuberculosis. The scope of free examinations includes: chest fluoroscopy, chest X-ray and sputum smear examination. Free treatment is limited to providing a unified regimen of anti-tuberculosis drugs, and other expenses are borne by yourself. This solves the main problem of non-hospitalization for patient consultation and treatment.

The drugs for free treatment are limited to anti-tuberculosis drugs in the unified chemotherapy regimen, such as isoniazid, rifampicin or rifapentine, ethambutol, pyrazinamide, streptomycin, and Including the cost of using syringes for streptomycin injection, injection water, etc. Anti-tuberculosis drugs purchased by patients, other drugs requiring auxiliary treatment, or hospitalization expenses are not included in the free scope. Patients who are re-treated for infectious pulmonary tuberculosis will only be provided with one free treatment opportunity.

Reimbursement of medical expenses: Those with medical insurance will only be reimbursed for the out-of-pocket portion, that is, patients who need to pay out-of-pocket within the above-mentioned scope can be reimbursed with relevant examination and treatment invoices; those without medical insurance will only be reimbursed for items that are free of charge.

Tuberculosis is generally spread through three ways. The first is that when patients with pulmonary tuberculosis cough, sneeze, or speak loudly, droplets containing Mycobacterium tuberculosis will be ejected. According to some statistics, patients with pulmonary tuberculosis excrete the bacteria. A cough can eject more than 400 droplet nuclei. Some droplet nuclei can contain hundreds of bacteria and can float in the air for thirty minutes. The tuberculosis bacteria in the droplet nuclei have just escaped from the human body. , unaffected by sunlight and dryness, its toxicity and vitality are very strong. If it is inhaled into the lungs of a healthy person, it will cause infection when the body's immunity is weak. If you get pulmonary tuberculosis or Sclerotinia sclerotiorum for the first time, or if you have some obvious symptoms of tuberculosis, you need to be isolated and treated.

Is there a vaccine for tuberculosis? Is vaccination required to prevent tuberculosis?

BCG is a preventive vaccine against tuberculosis. Vaccination can make children develop special resistance to tuberculosis. The main target of BCG vaccination is newborn infants. After vaccination, it can prevent childhood tuberculosis, especially those severe types of tuberculosis such as tuberculous meningitis. Vaccination with BCG vaccine is very beneficial to the healthy growth of children. BCG vaccination is called the "first shot after birth", so it should be given to babies in maternity hospitals and obstetrics departments as soon as they are born. If you are not vaccinated in time at birth, you must go to the BCG vaccine clinic of the local tuberculosis control center or the planned immunization clinic of the health and epidemic prevention station for re-vaccination within one year of age. After 100 days of vaccination, it is best to go to the vaccination station for a reexamination.

Is it a terminal disease?

If tuberculosis is detected in time and given regular treatment at an early stage, it will be completely curable.

However, if it is discovered too late or the treatment is irregular, the disease will be delayed, resulting in multi-drug resistance and it will become an incurable disease. Therefore, we hope that those with symptoms will be checked in time. Once they are found to have tuberculosis, they will go to a regular hospital for treatment in time. We hope that tuberculosis patients will recover as soon as possible.

What are the early symptoms of tuberculosis? How to prevent it? Can I get vaccinated?

In the early stage of pulmonary tuberculosis, there are no obvious symptoms due to the small size of the lesions. In addition, even if there are symptoms, since the symptoms of tuberculosis do not have obvious characteristics, patients and doctors can easily mistakenly think that they have other diseases and ignore tuberculosis. The main symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis are: cough with sputum for more than 3 weeks, hemoptysis, fever or chest pain for more than 3 weeks. If you have the above symptoms, you are a "suspicious symptom of pulmonary tuberculosis" and it is best to go to a tuberculosis prevention and treatment center or a tuberculosis specialist hospital for examination. Newborn infants and young children should receive the BCG vaccine as soon as they are born. Drug prevention can be used in the following situations: 1. Children who have close contact with tuberculosis patients and have a positive tuberculosis skin test. 2. Those who have inactive lesions on chest X-ray and have not been treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs before. 3. Children under 5 years old or adolescents who have a strong positive reaction to the tuberculosis skin test. 4. People who have a positive skin test for tuberin and are highly likely to develop the disease. 5. People who are infected or suspected of being infected with HIV.

If you are coughing up blood, how long is the treatment period? Can the root of this disease be removed?

The vast majority of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and hemoptysis can stop bleeding in a short period of time through interventional treatment with anti-tuberculosis drugs and hemostatic drugs. However, if tuberculosis is complicated by complications such as bronchiectasis, it can recur many times and is difficult to control. If the lesions are localized, they can be eradicated through surgery.

I was cured of tuberculosis by taking traditional Chinese medicine when I was in junior high school. Now I am 30 years old and have never had tuberculosis. My physical condition is also quite good.

Tuberculosis can be cured as long as it is detected early, treated regularly under the guidance of a doctor, and completes a sufficient course of treatment. However, there is no lifelong immunity to this disease. If you come into contact with someone who has expelled bacteria or your body's immunity is reduced, you may be infected again.
