Post-tuberculosis (post-TB) lung disease is increasingly recognized as a major contributor to the global burden of chronic lung disease, with recent estimates indicating that over half of TB survivors have impaired lung function after successful completion of TB treatment. However, the pathologic mechanisms that contribute to post-TB lung disease are not well understood, thus limiting the development of therapeutic interventions to improve long-term outcomes after TB. This report summarizes the work of the Pathogenesis and Risk Factors Committee for the Second International Post-Tuberculosis Symposium, which took place in Stellenbosch, South Africa, in April 2023. The committee first identified six areas with high translational potential: 1) tissue matrix destruction, including the role of matrix metalloproteinase dysregulation and neutrophil activity; 2) fibroblasts and profibrotic activity; 3) granuloma fate and cell death pathways; 4) mycobacterial factors, including pathogen burden; 5) animal models; and 6) the impact of key clinical risk factors, including HIV, diabetes, smoking, malnutrition, and alcohol. We share the key findings from a literature review of those areas, highlighting knowledge gaps and areas where further research is needed.

Rationale: Cough is a key symptom in patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD). Objectives: This study evaluated the prevalence, longitudinal change, associations, and prognostic significance of cough severity in patients with fibrotic ILD. Methods: We included consecutive patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and non-IPF fibrotic ILD who completed the 100-mm Cough Severity Visual Analog Scale from the prospective multicenter Canadian Registry for Pulmonary Fibrosis. Baseline cough severity and associations with patient demographics and clinical factors were determined. Relationships between baseline cough severity and health outcomes were evaluated. Measurements and Main Results: Patients with IPF (n = 1,061) had higher median baseline cough severity than those with non-IPF fibrotic ILD (n = 2,825) (24 vs. 20 mm; P < 0.001), with worse cough associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease for both cohorts. Worse cough severity was independently associated with worse health-related quality of life at baseline, larger annualized decline in DlCO, development of disease progression, and reduced transplant-free survival in both IPF and non-IPF fibrotic ILD cohorts. The IPF cohort (2.2 mm; 95% confidence interval, 1.6-2.9 mm) had larger annualized increments in cough severity than the non-IPF fibrotic ILD cohort (1.1 mm; 95% confidence interval, 0.8-1.4 mm; P = 0.004). There was no difference in worsening cough over time comparing those receiving and not receiving ILD-targeted therapy or with and without lung function decline. Conclusions: Cough is common in patients with IPF and non-IPF fibrotic ILD, with increasing cough severity over time irrespective of ILD-targeted therapy. Patient-reported cough severity has prognostic implications on health-related quality of life, disease progression, and survival in fibrotic ILD.
