Patients of corona infection are falling prey to other diseases after recovery. Many patients are showing symptoms of TB after recovering from corona. Keeping in mind the far-reaching consequences of Kovid, experts say that even after recovery, the patient must undergo a sputum test. Both TB and COVID are infectious diseases that primarily damage the lungs. Symptoms such as cough, fever and shortness of breath are similar in both diseases. However, in TB the disease duration is long and the disease onset is slow. State Tuberculosis Officer (TB Eradication Programme) Dr. Dharmendra Gahvai said that the mode and symptoms of infection of corona virus and tuberculosis (TB) are almost similar. In such a situation, it is very important to take precautions to prevent infection. This disease is highly spread in the air. Even after recovering from Kovid, if the problem of persistent cough persists, then TB must be tested. Dr. Gahvai said that TB can also occur after Kovid-19 because the infection damages the lungs, due to which the chances of getting TB increase. Dr. Gahvai said that it is mandatory for the patients suffering from TB to get the vaccine of Kovid. Those TB patients who have high fever or are having symptoms of covid should not get this vaccine. Such people should get the vaccine of Kovid when the symptoms are cured. Even after vaccination, it is necessary to strictly follow the protocol related to prevention from Kovid. TB patients have to get the publication dose along with both the doses of the vaccine. TB test and treatment is available free of cost in government hospitals. If you see symptoms of TB such as cough for more than two weeks, fever in the evening, sudden loss of appetite and weight loss, persistence of fever for a long time, etc., immediately go to the nearest government health center for your investigation and treatment.
