Can ileal tuberculosis infect?

Intestinal tuberculosis can be infectious. If you eat food with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and use articles with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, such as tableware, water cup and other articles, the bacteria may invade the body, and will multiply in a large number of people's intestines, causing intestinal tuberculosis.

The vast majority of patients with intestinal tuberculosis are open tuberculosis. If they have meals with patients with intestinal tuberculosis and do not take preventive measures, they are likely to be infected by the virus and cause intestinal tuberculosis.

A small number of patients are infected with bacteria because of hematogenous dissemination and lymphatic dissemination. The incidence of intestinal tuberculosis is generally in the terminal ileum and cecum. The lymphoid tissue in these two places is very rich. After infection, it will spread around and invade the colon, ileum, appendix and other organs.
