Obstructive lung disease as a complication in post pulmonary TB

Abstract

The case of post TB is a problem that arises in the community. Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) can affect lung function. Therefore, we evaluated impaired pulmonary function in subjects with diagnosed prior pulmonary TB. A Case Series study, pulmonary function test was performed in subjects with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis; aged ≥18 years were included. Exclusion criteria was a subject who had asthma, obesity, abnormal thorax and smoking history. We measured FEV1 and FVC to evaluate pulmonary function. Airflow obstruction was FEV1/FVC%<75 and restriction was FVC<80% according to Indonesia’s pneumomobile project. This study was obtained from 23 patients with post pulmonary TB, 5 subjects (23%) had airflow obstruction with FEV1/FVC% value <75%, 15 subjects (71.4%) had abnormalities restriction with FVC value <80% and 3 subjects (5.6%) had normal lung function. Obstructive lung disease is one of the complications of impaired lung function in post pulmonary TB.

The clinical and functional characteristics of bronchiectasis among tuberculosis patients in Upper Egypt: a single-center study

However, in this respect, it is important to note that the presence of bronchiectasis is increasingly recognized to be associated with a poorer overall prognosis among such patients, as very recently demonstrated by a previous study [30,31].…”

“…Pasien mudah lelah dan nafsu makan menurun, hal ini berkaitan dengan faktor ekonomi , kondisi lingkungan tempat tinggal yang berdempetan sehingga menyebabkan mudahnya penularan TB antara satu orang dengan orang yang lain. Sekuele atau gejala sisa pada jaringan paru akan mempengaruhi fungsi pernafasan yang tentunya akan sangat mengganggu aktivitas, sehingga pasien paska TB mudah lelah, mudah capai (Kadar et al, 2020;Tarigan et al, 2018).…”
