Patient's question:
My boyfriend has tuberculous meningitis, I'm really worried about him. Hello doctor, is tuberculous pleurisy contagious?Doctor's answer:
Hello, tuberculous pleurisy itself will never be infected through air or other means, but it should be noted that tuberculous pleurisy is one type of tuberculosis infection, so when you need to be treated, you must pay attention to protection. Then, apart from pleurisy, check if there are any open inflammatory conditions. If there is also open inflammation in the lungs, you should also pay attention to infection.
