- Tuberculosis poses a significant health risk to HIV-infected individuals in China, necessitating a better understanding of survival rates among this population.
- A study analyzing 359 patients with HIV and pulmonary tuberculosis from 2011 to 2015 found a 15.92% mortality rate during a median follow-up of 27 months, with key risk factors including older age, pneumonia, delayed diagnosis, and low CD4 counts.
- The timing of starting combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) after anti-TB treatment influences survival outcomes, with the best results seen when cART is initiated within 4-8 weeks.
