Levels of vitamin D in plasma in the Karachi, Pakistan, tuberculosis (TB) household cohort (7) by TB status at baseline (disease-free, index TB case-patient, coprevalent TB case-patient, and past TB case-patient, treated 2–10 years previously). One disease-free contact was excluded because of an indeterminate test result. Box plots show the median, 25th, and 75th quartiles of serum vitamin D estimated for each group (A) by any TB diagnosis (current or past) at baseline (B) and by sex (C). Reference lines represent cut-offs for insufficient and sufficient vitamin D levels, respectively. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of medians.
