Includes bibliographical references. Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) as a cause of COPD is debated, with some, but not all evidence suggesting an association between the two conditions. Aim: To systematically review evidence for the association between pulmonary tuberculosis and the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We performed a systematic review of original English language, peer-reviewed literature using the PUBMED/MEDLINE database. Chronic Airflow Obstruction was defined on spirometric data (FEV1: FVC Ratio < 0.70; or FEV1: FVC Ratio < lower limit of normal for age, with or without bronchodilator use). Conclusions: Evidence was found for an association between a past history of tuberculosis and the presence of COPD. This association is independent of cigarette smoking. Causality is likely but cannot be assumed. 2014-12-26T06:20:11Z 2014-12-26T06:20:11Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MPH http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10055 eng application/pdf Department of Public Health and Family Medicine Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
