Tuberculosis Gap
A combination of infection control strategies is needed to reduce the rate of TB transmission, especially in high-risk, low-resourced health care settings. [See %{c:25}] “Early initiation of ART will significantly reduce TB incidence among people on ART, but additional interventions such as screening for TB using highly sensitive tools, preventative therapy, nutrition interventions, anemia, and poverty reduction may be needed to further reduce the burden of TB among people on ART” (Van Rie et al., 2011: 354). A study found that nutrition supplementation may increase patient survival and decrease the recurrence of TB among people living with HIV.
