Clinical and demographical profile HIV and tuberculosis infection with special emphasis on the sputum and CBNAAT positivity in vindhya region of India

Abstract

One of the most prevalent opportunistic illnesses among Human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) positive people is tuberculosis. Numerous studies have demonstrated that HIV/Acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS) is a significant public health issue in India. The World health organization(WHO) advised using Cartridge based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT) in conjunction with Rifampicin resistance to identify pulmonary tuberculosis (TB).This cross-sectional research had 160 patients who were older than 15 years. The bulk of the patients, or 109 (68.12%), were in the middle age range of 26 to 45 years, with 135 (84.66%) of them being from rural areas. Low education status persons (primary and high school, 35% and 33.75% respectively) constitute the demographic that is most frequently impacted; nevertheless, among females, uneducated groups are more frequently afflicted. The shift in the distribution of HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis co- infection patients in India's Vindhya Region implies that the HIV/TB co-infection epidemic is spreading. CBNAAT reduces TB detection time while increasing sensitivity and positivity in HIV and TB coinfection. There is an urgent need for intervention to reduce dangerous sexual behaviors.
