Abstract

While effective anti-tuberculosis treatment (ATT) has led to significant reductions in mortality, concerns persist about the potential for persistent lung damage and impaired pulmonary function among survivors. Data on the prevalence and predictors of lung function impairment (LFI) in post-TB patients in Tamil Nadu are limited. This study aims to evaluate the extent of LFI in pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients upon treatment completion.
