What disease is pleurisy

First of all: pleurisy is not a major disease, often caused by tuberculosis. The pleura may adhere to each other and subside. Can go to the hospital examination, under the guidance of specialist treatment.

Secondly, antituberculous drugs are suitable for the treatment of tuberculous (dry or exudative) pleurisy. Isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol and streptomycin were used alternately. The total course of treatment was 6-9 months. Non tuberculous pleurisy should be targeted at the primary disease (such as infection, tumor, etc.) to choose the appropriate drug treatment. Purulent pleurisy or tuberculous empyema with infection were treated with penicillin.

Finally: combined with anti tuberculosis drugs, it has a positive therapeutic effect on eliminating systemic toxic symptoms, promoting absorption of effusion and preventing pleural thickening and adhesion. Prednisone can be taken orally. When the systemic symptoms are improved and the effusion is obviously absorbed, the dosage should be reduced gradually for 4-6 weeks.
