What are the symptoms of bronchial tuberculosis?

The main symptoms of bronchial tuberculosis include the following aspects: 1. Respiratory symptoms: Patients often experience coughing, mostly severe paroxysmal dry cough, sometimes accompanied by sputum production, and blood-tinged sputum or hemoptysis may occur. In addition, due to possible bronchial stenosis and spasm caused by tuberculosis lesions, patients may also develop chest tightness, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. When the tuberculosis lesions involve the pleura, chest pain may occur, and symptoms worsen with breathing and coughing. 2. Systemic symptoms: Patients generally develop low-grade fever in the afternoon, accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Some patients may also experience night sweats during sleep. 3. Other symptoms: Bronchial tuberculosis has a relatively long course, and symptoms may persist or recur. Due to the high contagiousness of bronchial tuberculosis, once diagnosed, patients should take isolation and protective measures to reduce the risk of transmission to family members and others. If symptoms suggestive of bronchial tuberculosis appear, prompt medical consultation for diagnosis and treatment is recommended.
