酗酒能导致胃炎、肝硬化和脑细胞萎缩,这是人所皆知的事实,但是近年来的一些研资料表明,酗酒者极易罹患呼吸系统的疾病,尤其是肺结核病。 有关统计资料表明,常饮酒者肺结核的患病率比不饮酒者高9倍。德国学者的研究报告指出,中欧结核病患病者中酒徒占20％～50％,北美占全部新病人的50％。在住院病人中,中欧占40％,美国占10％～90％。 正常人的呼吸道有完善的生理屏障,维护着肺部的健康,经常酗酒可损伤呼吸道黏膜,使纤毛运动减弱,气道自洁作用下降,肺泡通气不良。另据测定,酒精在体内约有5％未被氧化而直接弥散到肺泡内,经肺排出体外,这样既降低了肺泡内 It is a well-known fact that alcoholism can lead to gastritis, cirrhosis and brain cell atrophy. However, some research reports in recent years show that alcoholics are particularly vulnerable to respiratory diseases, especially tuberculosis. Statistics show that the prevalence of tuberculosis in regular drinkers is 9 times higher than those in non-drinkers. According to a study by German scholars, 20% to 50% of those suffering from tuberculosis in Central Europe and 50% of all new patients in North America. Among inpatients, 40% are in Central Europe and 10% to 90% in the United States. Normal respiratory tract has a perfect physiological barrier, maintaining the health of the lungs, often alcoholism can damage the respiratory mucosa, so that cilia movement, decreased self-cleaning airway, poor alveolar ventilation. According to another determination, about 5% of alcohol in the body is not oxidized and directly dispersed into the alveoli, the lungs excreted through the lungs, thus reducing the alveolar
