“…In 2003 (Varma et al 2007). For all patients with a diagnosis of TB in the national infectious diseases hospital or any public or private facility in the four provinces, staff recorded standardized epidemiologic data, collected sputum specimens for microbiologic testing, and offered HIV counselling and testing.…”

“…For all patients with a diagnosis of TB in the national infectious diseases hospital or any public or private facility in the four provinces, staff recorded standardized epidemiologic data, collected sputum specimens for microbiologic testing, and offered HIV counselling and testing. When available, sputum specimens from the beginning of TB treatment, were cultured in a government laboratory located in the province in which the specimen was collected; Ogawa or Lowenstein-Jensen agar and, in some situations, mycobacterial growth indicator tube (MGIT) were used, according to standard procedures (Varma et al 2007;Srisuwanvilai et al 2008). Isolates were sent to the Bangkok city or MOPH national reference laboratory for identification and drug-susceptibility testing.…”

Summaryobjectives In countries with both TB and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemics, HIV is known to be the most powerful risk factor for death during tuberculosis (TB) treatment. Few recent studies have evaluated risk factors for death among HIV-uninfected TB patients in these countries. We analysed data from a multi-province demonstration project in Thailand to answer this question.method We prospectively collected data from HIV-uninfected TB patients treated for TB in four provinces and the national infectious diseases hospital in Thailand from [2004][2005][2006]. Standard WHO definitions were used to classify treatment outcomes. We used log-binomial multivariate regression to calculate adjusted relative risk (aRR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for factors associated with death.

“…In Southeast Asia, the death rate for HIV-infected TB patients during TB treatment is particularly high, ranging from 20% to 50% (2)(3)(4)(5). HIV-infected patients in Southeast Asia are severely immunocompromised at the time of TB diagnosis, with a median CD4+ T-cell lymphocyte count (CD4) of 54-57 cells/μL (2,(6)(7)(8)(9). With this degree of immunosuppression, it is likely, but not known, that opportunistic infections other than TB contribute substantially to the high case-fatality rate.…”

“…Autopsies are not routinely performed in HIV-infected persons in Asia, and data from Africa may not be generalizable to Asia. Malaria is much less common in Asia than in Africa, and HIV-infected TB patients have more severe immunosuppression and higher death rates than patients in Africa (2)(3)(4)(6)(7)(8)(9)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). Understanding actual causes of death may help with identifying effective interventions.…”

Up to 50% of persons with HIV and a diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) in Thailand die during TB treatment. In a prospective observational study, a team of physicians ascribed the cause of death after reviewing verbal autopsies (interviews of family members about events preceding death), laboratory data, and medical records. Of 849 HIVinfected TB patients enrolled, 142 (17%) died. The cause of death was TB for 38 (27%), including 6 with multidrugresistant TB and 20 with disseminated TB; an HIV-associated condition other than TB for 50 (35%); and a condition unrelated to TB or HIV for 22 (15%). Twenty-three patients (16%) were judged not to have had TB at all. Death from all causes except those unrelated to TB or HIV was less common in persons receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). In addition to increasing the use of ART, death rates may be reduced through expanded use of modern TB diagnostic techniques.
