Popis: Conclusion: The frequency of TB was high among PLHIV patients who did not receive IPT. It was discovered that a low CD4 cell count at baseline, a history of TB, IPT status, Hgb level, and BMI independently predicted the presence of TB. Therefore, addressing the independent predictors that are connected to a higher risk of TB in PLHIV as well as isoniazid (INH) prophylaxis has a significant impact on reducing the incidence of TB.
