Abstract: In the late 1970 of the 20th century, the gradual introduction of the quality of life in the field of medical research and the formation of new research boom, but there is still no uniform definition of quality of life standards, and the research on quality of life in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis is relatively less. Currently, there has no mature dedicated TB quality of life scale both at home and abroad. Most of the foreign mature, universal scale, such as SF-36, WHOQOL-100 and WHOQOL-BREF was used for patients with tuberculosis after direct translation or some modification. Some dedicated quality of life scale for tuberculosis is still in exploration.
