Lung Health After Tuberculosis: Clinical and Functional Assessment in Post Pulmonary Tuberculosis Egyptian Patients.

Some of pulmonary tuberculous patients who completed their medication course experience lung function impairment

Some of pulmonary tuberculous patients who completed their medication course experience lung function impairment which may influence their quality of life. However, the pattern and nature of post-tuberculosis lung impairment is still not identified. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the type and degree of lung physiology changes in previously treated tuberculous patients which latter may affect their quality of life; thus helping clinicians for early diagnosis of lung impairment, especially in tuberculous endemic areas.
