• Description:
  Chronic respiratory disease (CRD) after pulmonary TB is a recognised contributor to excess morbidity after TB treatment completion, and associations between previous TB disease and abnormal lung structure and function have been consistently demonstrated. In recent years, there has been renewed focus on the high burden and impact of post-TB lung disease (PTLD) for patients, their families and communities, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). There has, however, been less focus on the impact of previous TB on the clinical case load of health services in LMIC settings. We recently characterised the common CRDs encountered in hospital outpatient clinics in three African countries.10 We report here on the clinical characteristics of people with previous TB attending hospital-based clinics in three sub-Saharan LMICs: Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan.
