Core Tip	Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a relatively rare but severe complication of pulmonary tuberculosis. However, no consensus has been reached on the ideal treatment modality. This article presents a patient with a BPF resulting from severe pulmonary tuberculosis accompanied by mixed infections. Strict preoperative evaluation of surgical indications, including standard preoperative anti-tuberculosis treatment and controlling the infection through an open-window thoracostomy during surgery, can achieve a satisfactory long-term prognosis for the treatment of BPF through this three-pronged approach.
