Lung function has been found to be altered in the overwhelming majority of patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis treated with drugs, only positive or only negative functional changes being relatively rarely observing. Combined positive and negative functional changes are much frequently revealed. The direction and magnitude of the revealed functional changes depend on the efficiency of tuberculosis treatment and on the specific features of a healing process. A thorough assessment of pulmonary functional changes can be made only on the basis of comprehensive studies of lung volumes, elasticity, and bronchial patency, by recording these parameters.
已发现，绝大多数接受药物治疗的空洞型肺结核患者的肺功能发生了改变，仅出现正向或仅出现负向功能变化的情况相对少见。正向和负向功能变化同时出现的情况则更为常见。所发现的功能变化的方向和程度取决于结核病治疗的效果以及愈合过程的具体特征。只有通过记录肺容量、弹性和支气管通畅性等参数，对这些参数进行综合研究，才能对肺功能变化进行全面评估。
