White chamomile is a symbol of clean breathing: important tips from the phthisiatrician of the Yelabuga Central Hospital
Many consider consumption to be a relic of the past, but statistics show the opposite: 23 patients with active tuberculosis are being treated in Yelabuga district, and unfortunately, one person died this year due to this disease. The insidiousness of Koch's wand is that it can "slumber" in the body for years, not showing itself in any way until the immune system gives up. People with diabetes, stomach ulcers, chronic lung diseases, as well as those who endure high loads, stress, or have bad habits are primarily at risk.
If you notice that the cough does not go away for more than three weeks, the temperature rises to 37.2–37.5 degrees in the evenings for no reason, and at night you wake up in a cold sweat — do not write it off as simple fatigue or a cold. Constant fatigue and sudden weight loss are serious reasons to come to my office. Remember that tuberculosis is not a sentence today, it is completely curable if I find it inside.
