Abstract:

Aim/Objectives: To study  pulmonary function of patients in treated pulmonary and pleural tuberculosis.

Materials and Methods: This  study was  a Cross sectional analysis of 131 patients attending out patients department  of pulmonary medicine  in Chalmeda Anand Rao Institute of Medical Sciences, Karimnagar, Telangana, India.

Results: Among 131 cases,39 (29.77%) showed Obstructive pattern, 40 cases (30.53%)cases showed Restrictive pattern and 27cases  (20.61%)showed mixed pattern abnormality. Obstructive pattern is predominant in pulmonary cases and restrictive in pleural cases.

Conclusion: FEV1 was found to be grossly reduced in the study group  especially pulmonary tuberculosis in comparison to control.  Forced vital capacity was also significantly reduced in study group and more predominant in treated pleural tuberculosis cases, where FEV1 was not significantly reduced .This study revealed that more advanced lesions of tuberculosis will lead to long term morbidity of the patients because of pulmonary derangements.

KEY WORDS: Pulmonary Function Test, Body Mass Index,Tuberculosis, Spirometry..
