Lipid Profile in Tuberculosis Patients with and without Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection

Table 3

Lipid profile levels (mg/dl) of active TB and latent TB coinfected with HIV compared to without HIV infection.

Lipid name	HIV+TB+ ()	HIV−TB+ ()	value	HIV+TST+ ()	HIV−TST+ ()	value
TC	88 (71.5–112)	108 (87–130)	0.012	106 (83–140)	149 (140.5–162)	<0.001
TG	76 (68–94)	75 (66–84)	0.200	80 (67–89)	83.5 (73–110.5)	0.315
LDL-C	42 (32.45– 63.1)	59.3 (46.9–73.2)	0.008	54.2 (41–70.2)	73.35 (63.8–87.2)	0.004
HDL-C	17.65 (12.35–22.65)	26.5 (21.1–31.8)	<0.001	25.3 (18.1–37.6)	42.4 (37.05– 49.3)	<0.001

Median (interquartile range) of lipid profile level values at baseline is shown. Comparison among the groups was determined using Wilcoxon Mann–Whitney test; value for the comparison between active TB groups with and without HIV; value for the comparison between latent TB groups with and without HIV.
