The importance of rehabilitation in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis
https://doi.org/10.17749/2949-5873/rehabil.2025.56
Abstract
This study provides a review of scientific literature and regulatory documentation regarding the medical rehabilitation of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. The integration of medical rehabilitation techniques into comprehensive care for such patients was shown to play a pivotal role in treatment optimization. This integration minimizes the risks of tuberculosisrelated complications, disability, and mortality. Furthermore, rehabilitation measures are essential for extending patients’ life expectancy and enhancing their quality of life. Noteworthy is that pulmonary tuberculosis patients require comprehensive treatment regimens that encompass both pharmacotherapy and psychological support.
