Summary:Goal: to evaluate the life quality of patients cured of pulmonary tuberculosis. All patients had spirometry done. The life quality was assessed with the help of St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) for respiratory function evaluation. Average values for all questions of St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire was lower compared to those healthy even in the patients with normal respiratory function. Data of St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire had statistically confident correlation with spirometry rates, high co-efficient of test-retest correlation and agreement. Therefore St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire is a true and reliable tool for life quality evaluation of patients cured of pulmonary tuberculosis. The main factors providing impact on life quality were respiratory function disorders and severity of dyspnea.
