Pulmonary tuberculosis and hepatitis B belong to the same Kinds of infectious diseases.
Moreover, tuberculosis of these two diseases is relatively easy to cure. In the early stage of the disease, oral anti-tuberculosis drugs are required for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. The onset of pulmonary tuberculosis is mainly caused by the infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and it may also be caused by close contact with the infected person. During the onset, symptoms such as high fever, cough and sputum, and shortness of breath are usually present.
