Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains the primary cause of death among individuals infected with HIV, increasing the risk of contracting TB by up to 26 times. This co-infection complicates the diagnosis and treatment of TB, ultimately affecting outcomes adversely. Acute-phase proteins (APPs), markers of inflammation, are significantly elevated during infections and serve as critical indicators of inflammation resulting from infectious diseases.
