Abstract

Post-tuberculosis lung disease (PTLD) refers to a group of lung diseases with chronic respiratory abnormalities, with or without clinical symptoms, partly or entirely caused by pulmonary tuberculosis. PTLD has high morbidity, disability rate and mortality, and has a serious impact on individuals, families and society. It is of great significance to fully understand its harm, explore its mechanism, and conduct in-depth research on its prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation.
