Complications: * Late complications of pulmonary TB include relapse, aspergilloma, bronchiectasis, broncholithiasis, fibrothorax, and possibly, carcinoma. A copy of the chest radiograph at the time of completion of therapy should be provided to the patient to facilitate the diagnosis of late complications. o The relapse rate following appropriate completed therapy is only 0-4% and occurs within the first 2 years after completion. Therefore, re-treatment usually is not necessary, especially after DOT. o Aspergilloma is a fungus ball that develops in a residual lung abnormality (eg, pneumatocele, bulla, bleb, cyst). It may appear as a crescent sign on chest radiographs. Other superinfections may manifest with an air-fluid level and often contain mixed bacteria, including anaerobes. o Hemoptysis is the most common late complication. Broncholithiasis is the result of spontaneous lymph node migration into the bronchial tree and may be associated with postobstructive pneumonia or esophageal perforation. Chronic bronchitis may develop from bronchiectasis; bleeding from submucosal bronchial veins usually is self-limited. o Fibrothorax is the development of trapped lung due to pleural fibrosis and scarring. o The risk for carcinoma is controversial but should be considered with newly developing clubbing. Prognosis: * The relapse rate following appropriate therapy is only 0-4% and occurs within the first 2 years after completion. Following successful completion of DOT, most cases of recurrent TB are probably due to reinfection rather than endogenous reactivation
