【環保暨安全衛生室公告】肺結核防治與健康篩檢

☆為維護本校教職員工與學生之健康，加強宣導結核病之疾病觀念與預防篩檢相關資訊。
一、認識肺結核
肺結核是一種由結核分枝桿菌引起的慢性傳染病，主要透過空氣傳播，當活動性肺結核患者咳嗽、打噴嚏或說話時，可能釋放含有結核菌的飛沫而造成傳染。
當有結核菌進入人體後在肺部會被肉芽組織包覆，當身體免疫力夠時，可控制不發病，這種平衡的狀態稱之為潛伏結核感染。潛伏結核感染沒有症狀，也不具傳染性，不會傳染給其他人。但當免疫力低下時，就可能發病成為結核病，造成傳播。

肺結核屬於可預防、可治癒之疾病，透過早期發現與規則治療，可成功治癒並有效降低傳播風險。

二、請留意相關症狀

若出現以下症狀，且持續兩週以上，請務必儘速就醫檢查：
1.持續性咳嗽
2.咳痰或痰中帶血
3.胸痛
4.不明原因體重減輕或食慾不振
5.發燒、夜間盜汗、疲倦無力

三、結核病篩檢與接觸者追蹤

結核病篩檢有助於及早發現與即時介入治療，保護個人與校園整體健康。
若經醫師建議、接獲學校或衛生單位通知，或被認定為確診個案之密切接觸者，請配合相關檢查與追蹤作業，例如胸部 X 光或潛伏結核感染（LTBI）篩檢。

四、校園防疫與個人防護建議
1.維持規律作息、充足睡眠與均衡飲食，以增強免疫力
2.咳嗽或打噴嚏時遮掩口鼻，必要時配戴口罩
3.保持室內空氣流通，避免長時間密閉空間聚集

☆一旦確診為活動性肺結核，應依醫師指示完成全程且規則的藥物治療，在早期診斷與規律治療下，多數患者皆可成功治癒，並配合後續健康追蹤與管理措施可有效降低對他人的傳播風險。
☆結核病防治需要全民參與，透過提高警覺、遵守醫囑、完成治療，我們可以共同降低傳播風險，守護校園健康。

Tuberculosis Prevention and Health Screening
☆ To safeguard the health of our faculty, staff, and students, and to enhance the promotion of tuberculosis awareness as well as information on prevention and screening.

I. Understanding Tuberculosis

Pulmonary tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is primarily transmitted through the air. When individuals with active pulmonary tuberculosis cough, sneeze, or speak, they may release airborne droplets containing TB bacteria, which can lead to transmission.
When Mycobacterium tuberculosis enters the body, it can become encapsulated by granulomatous tissue in the lungs. If the immune system is strong enough, the bacteria can be controlled and do not cause active disease. This balanced state is called latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI).

Latent tuberculosis infection has no symptoms and is not contagious, meaning it cannot be transmitted to others. However, when immunity is weakened, the infection may progress to active tuberculosis, which can then be transmitted to others.
Pulmonary tuberculosis is a preventable and curable disease. With early detection and regular treatment, most patients can be successfully cured, and the risk of transmission can be effectively reduced.

II. Symptoms to Be Aware Of

If you experience any of the following symptoms lasting more than two weeks, please seek medical evaluation as soon as possible:
a.Persistent cough
b.Cough with sputum or blood-tinged sputum
c.Chest pain
d.Unexplained weight loss or loss of appetite
e.Fever, night sweats, or fatigue

III. Tuberculosis Screening and Contact Tracing

Tuberculosis screening enables early detection and timely intervention, helping to protect both individual health and the overall campus community.
If recommended by a physician, notified by the University or public health authorities, or identified as a close contact of a confirmed TB case, please cooperate with the required examinations and follow-up measures, such as a chest X-ray or latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) screening.

IV. Campus Prevention and Personal Protective Measures

a.Maintain a regular routine, adequate sleep, and a balanced diet to strengthen immunity.
b.Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, and wear a mask when necessary.
c.Keep indoor spaces well ventilated and avoid prolonged stays in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas.

☆ Once diagnosed with active pulmonary tuberculosis, individuals should follow medical instructions and complete the full course of prescribed treatment regularly. With early diagnosis and proper treatment, most patients can be successfully cured. Cooperation with follow-up health monitoring and management measures can effectively reduce the risk of transmission to others.

☆Tuberculosis prevention and control require collective participation. By staying vigilant, following medical advice, and completing treatment, we can work together to reduce transmission risks and safeguard campus health.
