Prevalence and clinical significance of respiratory viruses and bacteria detected in tuberculosis patients compared to household contact controls in Tanzania: a cohort study 2019-01-31 .txt text/plain 3260 156 43 title: Prevalence and clinical significance of respiratory viruses and bacteria detected in tuberculosis patients compared to household contact controls in Tanzania: a cohort study We therefore studied the prevalence of respiratory pathogens in TB patients and household contact controls, and assessed the associations between both respiratory viruses and bacterial pathogens and the clinical presentation of TB patients who were prospectively recruited in an area of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) with a high TB burden. Logistic regression models adjusting for age, sex, and HIV infection were used to assess the associations between respiratory pathogens and clinical presentations of TB at the time of recruitment among TB patients, with the following outcome variables: severe TB score (score of 6) versus mild (score of 1e5), high sputum bacterial load (sputum AFB smear microscopy of 2รพ) versus low bacterial load, and presence versus absence of lung infiltrations and cavitations (chest x-ray findings). ./cache/cord-324601-s3rgxtg6.txt ./txt/cord-324601-s3rgxtg6.txt
