Objective: The progression of chronic obstructive lung disease and pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), according to several studies (COPD). Hence, the goal of this research was to examine the incidence of TB-associated COPD in COPD patients. Methods: 500 individuals having an accurate COPD diagnosis who werepresented to Mayo Hospital between January 2022 and March 2023, were enrolled in this trial. It has been proven in people who have had pulmonary or extra-pulmonary TB in the past. The patients were split into two equal groups, one with 50 patients who had COPD and TB, and the other with 50 patients who had COPD but no prior TB infection. A thorough medical evaluation, an arterial blood gas analysis, chest x-ray, and pulmonary function tests were given to each of the patients who were selected for the study.
