2013年，86%的新诊断结核病患者成功完成治疗并出院。然而，工业化国家和资源贫乏国家的长期研究都指出，结核病幸存者的死亡风险高于普通人群。可能的解释是结核病导致的慢性限制性和阻塞性肺病。我们呼吁加强结核病控制方案与呼吸系统医学服务摘要之间的联系，在抗结核治疗结束时更好地了解呼吸障碍造成的负担，并采取政治、方案、临床和研究行动，以改善受影响患者的生活质量。
In 2013, 86% of patients with newly diagnosed tuberculosis (TB) successfully completed treatment and were discharged from care. However, long-term studies in industrialised and resource-poor countries all point to a higher risk of death in TB survivors than in the general population. The likely explanation is chronic restrictive and obstructive lung disease consequent to TB. We call for better linkages between TB control programmes and SUMMARY respiratory medicine services, a better understanding of the burden of respiratory disability at the end of anti-tuberculosis treatment, and political, programmatic, clinical and research action to improve the quality of life of affected patients.
