Tuberculosis dietary taboos

Eggplant: People with tuberculosis are allergic to eggplant during anti-TB treatment. Random sampling study found that all patients in the eggplant group experienced allergic reactions of varying degrees from 40 minutes to 60 minutes. Such as facial flushing, itchy skin, irritability, systemic erythema, chest tightness and other allergic reactions. After tuberculosis patients eat this kind of eggplant, lighter people can take anti-allergic drugs, and will no longer eat eggplant and other similar foods in a period of time, and severe cases should ask the doctor for treatment.

Milk: Oral Lishen quickly eats milk at the same time. After one hour, the drug absorbs little. On the other hand, when the fasting was taken, the concentration of drug in the blood reached a peak one hour after taking it. Therefore, during the period of taking Rifapine and Lishen, do not eat milk and other drinks at the same time to prevent the absorption of drugs. The use of isoniazid should not use lactose and sugary foods, because lactose can completely hinder the body's absorption of isoniazid, so that it can not play a role in efficacy.

Some fish: Fish that can cause allergies are generally scaly and fresh fish and freshwater fish. Inscale fish include tuna, mackerel, mackerel fish, horse mackerel, mackerel, and sardines. Fresh fish such as octopus and yellow croaker. Freshwater fish such as squid. In the treatment of tuberculosis with isoniazid, consumption of these fish is prone to allergic symptoms. Lighter persons have headaches, dizziness, nausea, skin flushing, mild conjunctival hyperemia, severe facial flushing, burning sensation, rapid palpitations, lips and facial Abdominal sensation, herpes-like rash, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dyspnea, high blood pressure, and even hypertensive crisis and cerebral hemorrhage. There are reports of deaths at home and abroad. The reason is that isoniazid is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor. The above-described fish histamine content is very high, and therefore lack of a large number of effective monoamine oxidase to oxidize it, resulting in a large accumulation of histamine, causing the above symptoms. Not only can the fish with high histamine content be eaten during isoniazid use, and after 2 weeks of withdrawal, they should also be fasted. When eating other fish, add appropriate amounts of hawthorn and steamed or braised, or add some vinegar, to reduce the content of histamine. If a poisoning reaction occurs, it should be sent to the hospital promptly.
