Table 6

Comparison of characteristics between patients with and without ART-associated TB in 80 patients with HIV.

	No TB	ART-associated TB
	(𝑛=74)	(𝑛=6)
Age (yrs)	35 ± 9	35 ± 15
Sex (% male)	60	50
BMI (kg/m^2)	19.7 ±3.8	19.4 ± 4
CD4 (cells/𝜇l)	200 (94.25–242)	132 (57.25–182.75)
Increase in CD4	88 (27.25–149.75)	161 (129–316)
(cells/𝜇l)
Increase in CD4 (%)	46 (11.5–126.5)	160 (72–369)
VL (log10 copies/ml)	5.09 (4.54–5.65)	5.28 (4.95–5.51)
Decrease in VL	5.08 (4.5–5.57)	5.13 (4.87–5.39)
(log10 copies/ml)
Decrease in VL (%)	99.58 (98.79–99.9)	99.91 (99.84–99.93)

BMI: body mass index; VL: viral load
Age and BMI are presented as mean ± SD; gender as % of male and CD4 cell counts and viral load as median and IQR
There was no statistically significant difference.
