Overview

Unmatched case-control study identifies HIV and occupational hazards as key risk factors for TB control.

Key Points

  • Active pulmonary tuberculosis is significantly associated with HIV-positive status and low body mass index.
  • Cigarette smoking and occupations such as mining or daily labor increase risk of developing active TB.
  • Limited access to health facilities and poor knowledge of TB further contribute to community-level risks.
  • The study suggests comprehensive public health strategies are needed to address these determinants.
