Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of death among people living with HIV (PLHIV), with a significantly higher risk of developing active TB in this population. South Africa has the largest HIV epidemic globally, with a high co-infection rate of TB among HIV patients, leading to rapid and aggressive TB progression. Effective diagnosis and treatment strategies are essential for managing co-infected individuals, including careful monitoring of ART and TB therapies to prevent complications such as TB-IRIS.
