Low Cholesterol Associated With TB in People Living With HIV in an Asia-Pacific Cohort
In this Asia-Pacific cohort of adults living with HIV, low CD4 + cell count and low total serum cholesterol were associated with increased TB odds. Cholesterol may represent a low-cost adjunct marker to support TB risk stratification in PLHIV in endemic settings, but requires validation and evaluation of feasibility and cost-effectiveness.
