Median (interquartile range) of lipid profile concentration and CD4+ T-cell count values are shown. Significant differences between HIV−TB+ patients at M0 and M6 were determined using Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Significant differences between HIV−TB+ patients at M6 and HIV−TST+ or HIV−TST− at M0 were determined using Wilcoxon Mann–Whitney test.
