What is tuberculous lung infection?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination indicated a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. What is tuberculous lung infection?

Doctor's answer:

Pulmonary tuberculosis, also known as tuberculosis, has reappeared in the lungs, potentially caused by the transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, or possibly by other bacterial infections in the secondary neurons of the lungs. In such cases, it is essential to conduct a thorough sputum examination to determine the specific pathogen responsible. If the infection is solely due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, anti-tuberculosis drugs can be used for treatment. If there is a concurrent infection with other bacteria, additional medications should be administered in combination.
