Tiotropium in Patients With Tuberculosis (TB) Destroyed Lung

Clinical Efficacy of Tiotripium in Patients With Airflow Obstruction Due to TB Destroyed Lung

The aim of this study to evaluate clinical efficacy of tiotropium in patients with airflow obstruction due to Tuberculosis (TB) destroyed lung.

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Detailed Description

Tuberculosis can cause lung parenchymal destruction, volume loss, secondary bronchiectasis. Patients with TB destroyed lung complain chronic respiratory symptoms, such as chronic cough, sputum, dyspnea, exercise intolerance, and acute exacerbations. Some of them have chronic airflow obstructions on pulmonary function tests, similar to those of smokers.

Previous large randomized controlled trials, targeting patients with smoking related moderate to severe COPD,demonstrated that tiotropium improved quality of life and respiratory symptom with tolerable long-term safety. The investigators want to evaluate whether tiotropium can improve chronic respiratory symptom,an lung function in patients with COPD due to TB destroyed lung.

  • airflow obstruction confirmed by pulmonary function test, FEV1/FVC <70%

Exclusion Criteria:

  • patients do not agree with study enrollment
