Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB), being the second most killer among infectious diseases remains a major health challenge in many developing countries. Most cases of active TB are due to reactivation of Latent TB Infection (LTBI). Existing evidence suggests that malnutrition can contribute to TB reactivation, by modulating the immune response, along with other factors such as chronic diseases such as Diabetes, HIV, smoking, alcohol use, and aging. Therefore, in order to study the relationship between malnutrition and TB, we analysed the plasma levels of minerals and other inflammatory mediators among PTB, LTBI+ and LTBI− groups.
