Including Micronutrient Supplementation in Diet can Reduce TB Relapse
"This could be relevant because TB reactivation is common among HIV-infected persons, that it will be important to find out whether micronutrients improve the outcome of TB treatment in TB-HIV co-infected patients who are undergoing antiretroviral therapy," he added.
Christine Stabell Benn, MD, and colleagues in Copenhagen noted in their accompanying editorial that results to date relating to TB recurrence and mortality are inconsistent, with previous studies using different dosages and combinations of micronutrients.
Dr. Stabell pointed out that the promising results of the Villamor study show that further investigations are needed to develop optimal combinations of micronutrients that can be provided inexpensively in TB therapy to reduce relapses and increase survival.
The study appears in the June 1 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, now available online.
