Abstract

Introduction-Tuberculosis is a major public health problem of all times globally. TB Infects about one fourth of global population. To evaluate and assess the detailed information about the prevalence of abnormal lung function on spirometry of such patients this study was conducted. Material and Methods- Between Nov2017 to Oct2019, we prospectively evaluated all the patients who were diagnosed as case of pulmonary TB after completing full course of ATT at tertiary care hospital RMCH Bareilly. Results-Out of 210 patients (122)58.09% were males and (88)41.9% were females. Majority of patients lies within age group of (20-60 yrs) 163(77.6%).Smoking history were present in 70(33.3%) of patients. About 84(40%) of patients have BMI <18.5 and 97(46.2%) patients had BMI between 18.5- 24.9 and rest patients had BMI >25. After completing ATT the most common symptoms that patient had SOB 201(95.7%) followed by Dry Cough 121(57.6%) and Expectoration 38(18%). Out of 210 patients 172(81.9%) of patients have abnormal lung function. Conclusion- We found that out of all the symptomatic post TB patients, 172(81.9%) had abnormal lung function and among them majority of patients had Restrictive pattern i.e. 118(56.2%), 27(12.8%) had mixed pattern and 7(3.3%) had obstructive pattern on spirometry.
