Advancements in Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases

Tuberculosis and rehabilitation

Patients who recover from TB frequently experience chronic sequelae, which might cause their lung function to further deteriorate. For "cured" individuals with compromised lung function who require pulmonary rehabilitation, there is still little guidance available. Given that recent studies have demonstrated the positive effects of pulmonary rehabilitation for TB patients, additional tests for evaluation should be administered following the end of treatment.
