Background: Although many patients with cured pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) remain with anatomical sequels, the literature lacks of studies that accurately characterize and correlate them with associated dysfunction. The aim of the present study is to correlate anatomical sequels with dysfunctions using two different imaging methods, and to investigate expiration air trapping in post-PTB. Methods: A cross-sectional study comprising 56 cured-PTB patients was performed on clinical evaluation, spirometry, 6-minute walk test, chest x-ray, and inspiratory and expiratory high resolution computed tomography (HRCT). Image exams were reviewed by two radiologists, who scored to disease extension (radiographic and inspiratory scores), and air trapping ...
