TB is a serious lung condition.<\/a><\/h3>
Do you know what Stomatophage Obstruksi Pasca Tuberkulosis (SOPT) is? \n\n Even today, tuberculosis (TB), one of the oldest infectious illnesses to have ever occurred in the history of human civilization, continues to pose a serious threat to global public health. The patient's lung tissue may suffer irreparable harm from TB, as has long been known. \n\n Even though the patient has recovered from TB and the germs are no longer present, it's possible that this damage won't fully heal. This clinical syndrome, known as Post-Tuberculosis Obstruction Syndrome (SOPT), is a lingering symptom of the disease. \n\n \n\n What Is SOPT? \n\n Airway blockage caused by Post-Tuberculosis Obstructive Syndrome (SOPT) after tuberculosis (TB) as a result of immunological mechanisms during the TB phase. Clinical indicators of shortness of breath can occur in some TB patients, especially when they are active, radiological imaging of the disease can only be classified as fibrotic, and lung function tests can reveal images of irreversible airway obstruction. \n\n These patients fall under the umbrella of Post-TB Obstruction Syndrome. \n\n \n\n How does the SOPT procedure work? \n\n The pathophysiology of SOPT is quite intricate. One of the causes of SPOT is TB infection, which results in significant non-specific inflammation. This persistent inflammation leads to lung function abnormalities, including abnormal lung movement, changes in breathing patterns, decreased relaxation, changes in body posture, and sputum production. \n\n As a result, M. tuberculosis will release poisonous substances into the tissue, causing cellular hypersensitivity and raising the body's sensitivity to bacterial antigens, which will destroy tissue, cause necrosis, and spread the germs more widely. \n\n Lung function issues are the end outcome of this protracted inflammation, which also causes the proteolysis process and the oxidation load to develop significantly over time. \n\n \n\n General Symptoms \n\n \n coughing up mucus \n lacking breath \n Loss of weight \n I have a heavy chest. \n \n \n\n Therapy Which Is Possible \n\n Years later, some former TB patients still report coughing and even have shortness of breath (SOPT). These symptoms are brought on by persistent restrictive and partially obstructive problems in spirometry, as well as permanent lung damage. However, because SOPT is a pulmonary obstruction disease with symptoms resembling COPD, the treatment is also resembling COPD. \n\n Depending on the cause, SOPT therapy is administered. Options for therapy include: \n\n \n Bronchodilator \n Ipratropium bromide, anticholinergic group (0.5 mg) \n Group II agonist: salbutamol (2.5 mg) \n Xanthine group: 200 mg of aminophylline \n Prednisone or methylprednisolone are anti-inflammatory drugs. \n N-acetyl cysteine is an antioxidant. \n oxygen treatment \n Recovery from medication \n \n\n Therefore, it would be preferable if we could protect our lungs from numerous illnesses, including tuberculosis. A lung expert at Hermina Soreang Hospital can examine your lungs. \n\n To make it simpler to access registration at Hermina Soreang Hospital, download the Hermina Mobile Apps app. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Get to know TB<\/a><\/h3>
Tuberculosis (TBC) or TB is an infectious disease caused by a bacterial infection. TB generally attacks the lungs, but can also attack other organs, such as the kidneys, spine and brain. Tuberculosis (TB) in Indonesia ranks third after India and China with 824 thousand cases and 93 thousand deaths per year or the equivalent of 11 deaths per hour. To find and treat these cases, the Indonesian Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) plans to carry out a large-scale screening to be carried out this year. \n\n The symptom that often occurs is a long cough, but it is not always diagnosed with TB, therefore we find out more about where the problem is, it can be from the lung tissue, for example, there is pneumonia, TB, pneumonia or also lung cancer, it can also be from the respiratory tissue due to smoking for example COPD or allergies to the airways for example in Asthma, then also from covering the lungs for example there is fluid in the lung cavities. \n\n The examination that must be carried out to confirm whether this is TB or not is by examining the patient's sputum. You can use expert genes or molecular rapid tests and AFB sputum with acid-resistant bacilli. Patients with symptoms of accumulation of fluid in the chest cavity must have an additional examination of pleural fluid analysis \n\n The following are the symptoms of TB \n\n 1. Cough for more than 2 weeks accompanied by chest tightness \n\n 2. Weight loss \n\n 3. Fever that doesn't go down even though it's already on medication \n\n TB can be cured when patients who have TB disease are obedient in undergoing treatment according to the rules. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
