+ sign indicates reactive; bold type indicates statistical significance (p < 0.05); TB, tuberculosis, HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; AOR, adjusted odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; L, lower bound; U, upper bound; HBsAg, hepatitis B surface antigen; HCV, hepatitis C virus, N, number of patients included in the model.

*Adjusted odds ratios from multivariate logistic regression analyses adjusted for TB disease severity, HIV disease severity, co-trimoxazole use, fluconazole use, anti-retroviral use, whether or not received directly observed therapy, hospitalized at enrollment and been treated for TB previously
