Overview

Case-control study reveals significant associations between HIV, education, and ethnicity on TB risk.

Key Points

  • HIV status was identified as a strong predictor of pulmonary tuberculosis risk with an odds ratio of 4.376.
  • Significant associations were found between TB risk and education levels, ethnicity, and proximity to health facilities.
  • The case-control design involved 336 respondents, including confirmed TB patients and healthy controls.
  • Findings suggest that low education levels may lead to underdiagnosis and highlight the need for improved TB strategies.
