Abstract:

The tracheobronchial tuberculosis (TBTB) lacks typical and clinical presentation, and misdiagnosis is common. In recent years,with the development of bronchoscopy and bronchial intervention technology, the detection rate of TBTB has increased significantly. Besides systemic antituberculosis therapy, there are more and more treatment methods, such as local drug therapy in airway, balloon dilatation, cryotherapy, thermal ablation and stent placement. However, there is no uniform and normative guideline at present. In order to provide a rapid and effective combination scheme for the local treatment of TBTB, the author summarizes the local antituberculosis treatment of TBTB, the common methods to prevent airway stenosis and the local medication strategies of multidrug-resistant TBTB, as well as the research progress of new local medication methods and new inhalation drugs.
