  • Public Health

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TBC) remains a significant global health challenge.
  • The co-occurrence of TBC and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) presents complex clinical and epidemiological issues.
  • Understanding the interplay between TBC and AIDS is crucial for effective disease management and public health strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the characteristics of patients diagnosed with TBC versus those diagnosed with both TBC and AIDS.
