Abstract:
Tuberculosis (TB)-related deaths are preventable, yet research on co-infections primarily focuses on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients, leaving a gap for HIV-negative individuals. Early clinical monitoring is vital for reducing mortality, but research lacks clear links between mortality scoring, microbiological data, and prognostic factors. Despite early mortality being absent among our participants, we found prognostic markers such as comorbidity, smear-negative TB, high bacterial load, and bacterial co-infection correlated with elevated CABI scores.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...
