Tuberculosis (TB) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) carry a significant burden in terms of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This review article focuses on different aspects of Tuberculosis in terms of the relationship with COPD such as in the development of chronic airflow obstruction as a sequel to active TB and reviewing the key role of cigarette smoking in the pathogenesis of both conditions. Patients diagnosed with TB may often have extensive co-morbidity such as COPD and the effect of an underlying diagnosis of COPD on outcomes in TB is also reviewed.
结核病(TB)和慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)在全球范围内造成了重大的发病和死亡负担。这篇综述文章聚焦于结核病与COPD关系的不同方面,比如活动性结核病继发慢性气流受限的发展情况,并探讨吸烟在这两种疾病发病机制中的关键作用。被诊断为结核病的患者常常伴有多种共病,如COPD,本文还综述了潜在的COPD诊断对结核病治疗结果的影响。
