Abstract

Abstract:

Tuberculous bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a severe complication arising from tuberculosis. Its occurrence is closely related to the progression of tuberculosis, treatment efficacy, and the patient’s own immune status. Due to the frequent coexistence of severe infections and the lengthy and challenging treatment period, BPF poses significant challenges to clinical treatment. In recent years, with the rapid development of imaging technology, interventional medicine, and material science, the diagnostic and treatment strategies for BPF are undergoing profound changes. This article introduces the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of BPF, further explores its diagnostic and treatment progress, and provides a systematic reference for clinical decision-making.

Key words: Tuberculosis, pleural, Bronchial fistula, Diagnosis, Therapeutics
