摘要
Although chronic airflow limitation (CAL) is an important long-term consequence of tuberculosis (TB), little is known about the disease process. We present what we believe to be the first case of histologically confirmed residual TB-associated obstructive pulmonary disease (TOPD) in a 23-year-old non-smoking man who developed severe CAL after one episode of TB, with no other plausible risk factors. Lung biopsies identified residual post-TB pathology affecting the small airways and vessels throughout his lung; this has not been reported previously. These findings strengthen the argument that TOPD may be a phenotype of CAL distinct from both smoking-related chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchiectasis.
