Symptoms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis esophagitis? Let's talk about it

Symptoms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis esophagitis

The clinical manifestations of esophageal tuberculosis are different. The main complaints of patients are dysphagia, swallowing pain or retrosternal pain. There is a lack of typical tuberculosis poisoning symptoms. Some patients take hematemesis as the first symptom, and even show massive gastrointestinal bleeding that cannot be controlled by medical treatment.

Severe cases have fever, fatigue, weakness, emaciation, night sweats and other systemic symptoms. Most of the symptoms of esophageal tuberculosis are a local manifestation of the obvious decline of systemic resistance in the late course of the disease. Because esophageal tuberculosis can be complicated with advanced pulmonary tuberculosis or accompanied with throat tuberculosis, the symptoms of the esophagus are often covered by the symptoms of the lung or throat.

The prominent symptoms are throat or sternal pain, sometimes back pain, which is persistent and aggravates when swallowing. The patient has a fear of food and then loses weight.

matters needing attention

If esophageal tuberculosis can be found, diagnosed and treated early, its prognosis is good. Sometimes, if the patient's general condition is good and the treatment is appropriate, esophageal tuberculosis can heal itself, and some lighter ulcers can be cured quickly and completely.
