Abstract
Results Data of 4,878 patients on ART was analyzed. 3,247 (67.2%) were females. Median age 33 years (SD 8.5) and Median weight 53 kg (SD 10.0). Incidence of OIs 329 (6.7%); Oral candidiasis 106 (32%), Vaginal candidiasis 80 (24%), Kaposi’s sarcoma 40 (12%), Herpes simplex 28 (9%), Oesophageal candidiasis 25 (8%), Tuberculosis 15 (5%), others 38 (10%). WHO stage 3&4 (OR 2.64, CI 2.04-3.43, P < 0.001), CD4 count <100 cells/mm (OR 1.92, CI 1.52-2.42, P < 0.001), not being married (OR 1.69, CI 1.33-2.14, P < 0.001) and having no formal education (OR 1.61 CI 1.09-2.36, P = .0015) were significantly associated with development of OIs among patients on ART. Sex, age, body weight, ART regimen and Karnofsky score were not associated with development of OIs.
