Prevention of infectious diseases mainly starts from three aspects: controlling the source of infection, cutting off the route of transmission, and protecting susceptible populations. Prevention of tuberculosis is no exception.

• Control the source of infection: The health department needs to handle the sputum and daily necessities of patients with tuberculosis, and urge patients with infectious tuberculosis to take medicine on time, in sufficient quantity, and in full course of treatment; patients with infectious tuberculosis should actively cooperate with doctors.
• Cut off the route of transmission: patients with infectious tuberculosis should do isolation work, wear masks, and avoid crowded places.
• Protection of susceptible population: young, frail, and low-resistance, susceptible to infection with tuberculosis, should be less densely populated, go to public places to wear masks, vaccinate BCG, regular physical examination. Patients with diabetes and silicosis should control their blood sugar and actively treat lung disease. The general population should also strive to improve their immunity, ensure adequate nutrition, adequate sleep, no smoking, no alcohol, strengthen physical exercise, and increase physical fitness.
