High burden of severe and very severe undernutrition among adults with tuberculosis: findings from a state wide operational research in Chhattisgarh, India
There is a high burden of severe/very severe undernutrition among TB patients. Similar DBT and food basket coverage among those with severe/very severe undernutrition and other TB patients indicates inequity in distribution. Undernutrition-basedindicators and linkage of DBT and food baskets should be prioritized.
