Could exposure to tuberculosis lead to COPD?!

Question:
A diagnosis of tuberculosis exposure,(a positive tuberculine skin test) was made 30 years ago, and treated with INH. COPD was diagnosed in the same patient 6 months ago. Could the tuberculosis exposure 30 years prior be a contributing factor in the COPD diagnosis 6 months ago?
NOTE: Until 2 years ago, patient was a 1 pack a day smoker.
Answers:
I cannot find any information that links COPD with TB. Sorry.

Other Answers:
I would think so, since TB and smoking damage the lungs. Below site offers info, chat rooms, etc.
