Tuberculosis-related hospitalizations in Brazil: a nine-year experience in a high-burden setting
In this high-burden setting, TB hospitalizations were associated with social vulnerability, HIV coinfection, and delayed diagnosis. The high frequency of severe presentations highlights the importance of early detection and access to molecular testing. Improved integration between outpatient care and hospital services may reduce the need for hospitalization and improve outcomes.
