Post-tuberculosis (TB) lung disease (PTLD) 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 PTLD 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 here the key findings from a literature review of those areas, highlighting knowledge gaps and areas where further research is needed.

Rationale: Relatives of patients with familial pulmonary fibrosis (FPF) are at increased risk to develop FPF. Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) are a radiologic biomarker of subclinical disease, but the implications of very mild abnormalities remain unclear.
Objectives: To quantify the progression risk among FPF relatives with abnormalities below the threshold for ILAs as described by the Fleischner Society and to describe the characteristics of participants with new or progressive ILAs during observation.
Methods: Asymptomatic FPF relatives undergo serial screening high-resolution chest CT (HRCT). For this analysis, Early ILAs (no minimum threshold of lung involvement) were sub-classified as Mild (all interstitial abnormalities involve <5% of a lung zone) or Moderate (any abnormality involves >5%). Identification of new or progressive ILAs on HRCT, or development of Pulmonologist-diagnosed clinical FPF were defined as progression. Covariate-adjusted logistic regression identified progression-associated characteristics.
Measurements and main results: From 2008-2023, 273 participants in follow-up procedures were 53.2 9.4 years old at enrollment, 95 (35%) were male, and 73/268 (27%) were ever-smokers. During a mean follow-up of 6.2 3.0 years, progression occurred among 31/211 (15%) of those with absence of ILAs at enrollment, 32/49 (65%) of Mild ILAs, and 10/13 (77%) of Moderate ILAs. Mild ILAs had 9.15 (95% CI 4.40-19.00, p<0.0001) times and Moderate ILAs had 17.14 (95% CI 4.42-66.49, p<0.0001) times the odds of progression as subjects without ILAs.
Conclusions: In persons at-risk for FPF, minor interstitial abnormalities, including reticulation that is unilateral or involves <5% of a lung zone, frequently represent subclinical disease.
