Its management in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infected patients has been a challenging experience. There is however paucity of data on the effects of antiretroviral treatment (ART) before or after starting MDR-TB treatment. Therefore the objectives of this study were to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of MDR-TB treatment; and determine the predictors of mortality, cure and failure in HIV-TB co-infected patients who were started on ART before and after commencement of MDR-TB treatment.enThesis
