Abstract
Abstract Background Tuberculosis (TB) and HIV are one of the significant public health problems in Thailand, and an estimated 15,000 individuals have a dual infection. Both HIV and TB each disease speeds up the progression of each other. TB is the leading cause of death in HIV-infected individuals, and HIV coinfected TB patients have disease-specific, and treatment affected their treatment outcomes. There is insufficient evidence on issues of TB and HIV co-infection patients received treatment. This study aimed to assess the impact of HIV status on treatment outcome of TB patients. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study among TB patients who registered to service at Chaophraya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital, Prachin Buri, Thailand from October 1, 2017 to October 31, 2018. All patients’ demographic data, diagnosis, and treatment were retrieved. Clinical characteristics, treatment outcome, and factors associated with treatment outcome were analyzed. Results There were 49 (10.65%) HIV among 460 TB patients with a median (IQR) age of 44 (32–61) years old and 65.2% were males. Disseminated TB and extrapulmonary TB were higher in HIV coinfected group (P 60 years (OR 2.64; 95% CI 1.43–4.87, P = 0.002) and female sex (OR 1.97; 95% CI 1.11–3.52, P = 0.02). Conclusion There is a high TB treatment success rate among patients who have treated for TB, but adverse drug events in HIV co-infected TB patients is higher than that observed in non-HIV-infected patients.
