The current study exclusively observed people living
with HIV, active TB, and advanced immunosuppression
(median CD4 + T cells count 37 cells/mm3
) who died during TB treatment. The age and gender distribution indicated that
the TB-HIV deaths occurred mainly in young adults (median
age 35 years) and predominantly among males. CD4 count
data was lacking in 30% of the sample. Only one third of the
sample received antiretroviral therapy
