The exacerbating effects of stable pulmonary tuberculosis on the deterioration of inflammatory response, coagulation function, and pulmonary function in COPD: A propensity score-ma... by Jiangbo Li, Mei Ye, Haiyue Wang, Aidibai Ainiwaier, Ayididar Jumahan, Feng Sun

“…Our findings indicate that elevated IL-6, ESR, PLT, and D-Dimer levels coupled with decreased FEV1/FVC, FEF50, and FEF75 levels represent distinctive clinical characteristics of these patients.This study demonstrates that COPD patients with stable pulmonary tuberculosis exhibit enhanced inflammatory responses, prothrombotic tendencies, and more severe pulmonary function impairment, providing a scientific basis for developing individualized treatment strategies for this patient population.…”
