Pneumoconiosis patients and tuberculosis patients have significant differences. In clinical practice, a large portion of pneumoconiosis cases are due to prolonged exposure to harmful dust in the environment. For pneumoconiosis patients, who usually have poor immune function, if Mycobacterium tuberculosis is present in the external air, it can be transmitted through respiratory droplets and cause tuberculosis. However, in clinical practice, it is advised that pneumoconiosis patients wear masks when going out as much as possible to reduce the occurrence of infectious diseases. Additionally, for pneumoconiosis patients, it is generally recommended to keep warm, exercise appropriately to boost the immune system, which can also significantly reduce the risk of developing infectious pulmonary diseases.
