Destroyed lung syndrome in patients with drug‐susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis
Destroyed lung syndrome is a recognized devastating complication of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) that affects the quality of life of patients. Clinicians in TB-endemic countries should be aware of this complication aiming at prevention. TB control programs should intensify efforts at early detection and treatment and also provide interventions for post-TB complications.
