Incidence and determinants of tuberculosis infection among adult patients with HIV attending HIV care in north-east Ethiopia: a retrospective cohort study.

The incidence of TB among adults living with HIV/AIDS in the first 3 years of follow-up was higher compared with that of subsequent years. Previous TB disease, no IPT, low BMI and haemoglobin level, advanced WHO clinical stage, and bedridden condition were the determinants of the incidence of TB. Therefore, addressing the significant predictors and improving TB/HIV collaborative activities should be strengthened in the study setting.
