Abstract

India bears a quarter of the global tuberculosis (TB) burden. Previous studies have shown that more than 50% of persons with TB in India are undernourished and that undernutrition is associated with increased risk of unfavorable TB outcomes and mortality. The effect of nutritional status may be explained by its effect on other factors associated with poor outcomes. In this study, we assessed the impact of undernutrition at TB detection on markers of TB severity.
