“…In hospitalised patients, DILI is the adverse event that most frequently leads to discontinuation of treatment. In most patients, DILI is not associated with the presence of viral hepatitis or baseline alteration of liver tests [7], highlighting the importance of periodically monitoring transaminase levels during tuberculosis treatment in hospitalised patients. This is a large, multicentric study with a prospective design.…”

“…Although the burden of tuberculosis in patients living with HIV in Colombia is known and its impact on hospital admissions has been recently documented, the reasons that explain the ongoing epidemic, and the causes for these hospital admissions remain unclear [3,6,7]. Additionally, the hospital outcomes of patients with HIV-TB co-infection have not been sufficiently described in LMICs, particularly in Latin America [8], beyond in-hospital mortality [3,7].…”

“…Além disso, evidenciou-se que 33,33% dos artigos selecionados descrevem a ocorrência de resistência à medicação tradicional, o que acaba sendo um dos fatores da interrupção do tratamento convencional e da adesão de tratamentos alternativos muitas vezes não tão eficientes. Assim, prorroga o tempo de tratamento, dificulta a manutenção do paciente na rede de cuidados necessários à cura definitiva e ocasiona, em casos extremos, o desfecho clínico de óbito no indivíduo (RUIZ, et al, 2018).…”

“…Apesar da tuberculose (TB) ser uma doença curável, o seu tratamento em pacientes com Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana (HIV) não possui resultados satisfatórios. É comum a ocorrência de lesão hepática advinda do uso de drogas para TB, o que intensifica a interrupção do tratamento dessa doença negligenciada (RUIZ, et al, 2018). Consequentemente, é frequente um intenso avanço do HIV nesses indivíduos (RESENDE, et al, 2019).…”
