Pulmonary tuberculosis is a serious disease caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Despite the fact that the causative agent of the disease has been known for many years and there are vaccines and effective drugs for its treatment, tuberculosis remains a significant problem in global public health. Tuberculosis can be classified according to various parameters, including disease activity (latent or manifest), localization of disease (pulmonary or extrapulmonary), results of bacteriological examination of sputum (positive/negative culture), previous treatment (newly diagnosed case or relapse), treatment regimens, reports of treatment outcome and disease definition. The clinical picture of a patient with tuberculosis depends on the extent of the disease. In the initial stage of the disease, the general condition of the patient is usually not impaired. However, in advanced tuberculosis, the patient often shows signs of weight loss, pallor, exhaustion (cachexia) and dryness (also known as "dryness"). Symptoms often include fever, cough and expectoration. The goals of tuberculosis treatment include complete eradication of the infection caused by M. tuberculosis bacteria, prevention of further spread of the infection, prevention of relapse of the disease, and prevention of the development of drug resistance. Nursing care for patients with pulmonary tuberculosis includes a holistic approach to each patient, customized care and education. The nurse should take isolation measures to prevent the spread of infection. She is also responsible for providing education to the patient about his situation and for the prevention of complications that may arise due to the accumulation of secretions in the respiratory tract. In addition, it is important that the nurse collaborates with the multidisciplinary team to ensure the best care for the patient and the achievement of optimal results in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis.
