Abstract:

There is a two-way relationship between tuberculosis and nutritional status, they are related to each other. Tuberculosis can lead to the occurrence of nutritional risk, and is easy to develop nutritional related diseases, such as lack of nutrition, low immune function, electrolyte imbalance and so on. And poor nutritional status can lead to lymphocytic reduction, low cellular immunity and susceptibility to tuberculosis and other infectious diseases. Malnutrition is an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis and mortality of adult patients with severe tuberculosis. However, the relevant guidance documents on nutritional assessment and nutritional support treatment for patients with severe tuberculosis is still lacking. Therefore, combined with the experience and methods of nutritional support therapy in China and the latest guidelines for enteral and parenteral nutrition in the United States and Europe, the Eighth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital and the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Antituberculosis jointly organized experts to draw up Expert consensus on nutrition assessment and nutritional support treatment for patients with severe tuberculosis, in order to get standardized individual nutritional assessment and nutritional support treatment for patients with severe tuberculosis, and improve the prognosis and reduce mortality. This consensus expounds the importance of nutritional assessment and nutritional support treatment for patients with severe tuberculosis, the types of commonly used nutritional agents, and gives recommendations on the principles and standards of nutritional assessment and nutritional support treatment, the types and ways of giving nutrition, the types of severe tuberculosis, the complications and the nutritional support for special populations.
