Second, the microorganism also directly induces arteritis and thrombosis which impairs perfusion.[ 2 , 28 ] Patients with post-TB sequelae also have other abnormalities such as pleural thickening, parenchymal fibrosis, and atelectasis which contribute to the predominantly mixed to the restrictive pattern of abnormality rather than pure airflow obstruction.[ 2 ] Although we observed a negative trend in FEV 1 p and FVC with increasing fibrosis, bronchiectasis, nodule scores, TMS and TLS, the trend was not statistically significant for the overall population.
