摘要

结核病后肺部疾病(PTLD)是结核病患者管理中的一项重大挑战,对全球健康有着深远的影响。这篇社论探讨了 PTLD 的多面性,包括其病理生理学、临床表现、诊断复杂性以及对公共卫生的影响。PTLD源于活动性结核感染引起的肺损伤,导致肺部炎症、瘢痕和纤维化。临床表现差异很大,从慢性呼吸道症状到严重的呼吸衰竭,通常类似于慢性阻塞性肺病或限制性肺病。PTLD 的诊断因其表现不一且与其他呼吸系统疾病重叠而受到阻碍,因此有必要通过肺功能测试和放射成像进行全面评估。PTLD 给全球医疗系统带来了沉重负担,尤其是在结核病高发地区,导致发病率和死亡率上升。治疗策略主要是通过药物干预、肺康复以及特定情况下的手术干预来缓解症状、保护肺功能和预防疾病进展。预防措施包括有效的结核病控制措施、呼吸道病原体疫苗接种以及解决健康的社会决定因素。总之,全面了解 PTLD 对于改善患者预后和减轻疾病负担至关重要,这也凸显了针对这一复杂病症提高意识、增强诊断能力和制定有效管理策略的重要性。

Understanding the complexities of post-tuberculosis lung disease: Implications for global health
Post-tuberculosis lung disease (PTLD) presents a significant challenge in the management of tuberculosis patients, with far-reaching implications for global health. This editorial explores the multifaceted nature of PTLD, encompassing its pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic complexities, and implications for public health. PTLD arises from pulmonary damage due to an active tuberculosis infection, leading to inflammation, scarring, and fibrosis within the lungs. Clinical manifestations vary widely, ranging from chronic respiratory symptoms to severe respiratory failure, often resembling chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or restrictive lung disease. The diagnosis of PTLD is hindered by its heterogeneous presentation and overlap with other respiratory conditions, necessitating a comprehensive evaluation through pulmonary function tests and radiological imaging. PTLD imposes a substantial burden on global health systems, particularly in regions with high tuberculosis prevalence, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality rates. Management strategies focus on alleviating symptoms, preserving lung function, and preventing disease progression through pharmacological interventions, pulmonary rehabilitation, and, in select cases, surgical interventions. Preventive measures include effective tuberculosis control measures, vaccination against respiratory pathogens, and addressing social determinants of health. Overall, a comprehensive understanding of PTLD is essential for improving patient outcomes and reducing disease burden, highlighting the importance of concerted efforts to raise awareness, enhance diagnostic capabilities, and develop effective management strategies for this complex condition.
