[Functional recovery in pulmonary tuberculosis]

At first Authors explain the stages of tubercular disease in which a programme of functional respiratory rehabilitation can be advised. Then they deal with the main aspects of rehabilitating treatment in some tubercular manifestations, as sero-fibrinous pleural effusion, tubercular empyema, parenchymal fibrosis and surgical reliquates. With regard to surgical reliquates, we mostly consider pulmonary resections and pleural skinning. At last Authors recall the indications to physical exercise training, that are constituted by some reliquates of tubercular pathology, and they resume the accomplishment modalities of such a programme in order to allow every patient wide possibilities of social reintroduction.
