Abstract
Methods We performed standardized interviews, physical examinations, TST, and laboratory testing on HIV-1 infected Thai patients between September 2006 and January 2008 at the Anonymous Clinic of the Thai Red Cross AIDS Research Centre. All patients had sputum, blood, urine, stool, and, if enlarged, peripheral lymph nodes cultured for TB. A positive TST was defined as ≥5 mm of induration. We analyzed clinical, immunological, and microbiological characteristics associated with positive TST in multivariable logistic regression.
