A review paper led by researchers at Boston University School of Medicine argues that malnutrition, known as nutritionally acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (N-AIDS), is a leading cause of tuberculosis (TB) and deserves more attention in global TB elimination efforts. The researchers emphasize that malnutrition is the leading cause of immunodeficiency worldwide and that action on malnutrition is necessary to make substantive changes in TB incidence and mortality rates. They suggest that leveraging nutritional interventions can help detect, prevent, and treat TB more effectively, and that addressing malnutrition will have benefits beyond TB. The paper also highlights the social aspects of TB and the need for global health investments to eradicate it. [Extracted from the article] |
