Background: In Korea, patients with destroyed lung due to tuberculosis (TB) account for a significant portion of those affected by chronic pulmonary function impairment. The objective of our research was to evaluate the efficacy of inhaled tiotropium bromide in TB destroyed lung. Methods: We compared the effectiveness of inhaled tiotropium bromide for 2 months between pre- and post-treatment pulmonary function tests performed on 29 patients with destroyed lung due to TB. Results: The mean age of the total number of patients was $63{\pm}9$ years, where 15 patients were male. The pre-treatment mean forced expiratory volume in 1 second ($FEV_1$) was $1.02{\pm}0.31L$ ($44.1{\pm}16.0%$ predicted). The pre-treatment mean forced vital capacity (FVC) was $1.70{\pm}0.54L$ ($52.2{\pm}15.8%$ predicted). Overall, the change in $FEV_1%$ predicted over baseline with tiotropium was $19.5{\pm}19.1%$ (p<0.001). Twenty patients (72%) got better than a 10% increase in $FEV_1$ over baseline with tiotropium, but one patient showed more than a 10% decrease in $FEV_1$. Overall, the change in FVC% predicted over baseline with tiotropium was $18.5{\pm}19.9%$ (p<0.001). Seventeen patients (59%) experienced greater than a 10% increase in FVC over baseline with tiotropium; 12 (41%) patients had stable lung function. Conclusion: The inhaled tiotropium bromide therapy may lead to improve lung functions in patients with TB destroyed lung. However, the long-term effectiveness of this treatment still needs to be further assessed.
