- 107 patients were included in analysis. Median age of all patients as well as those hospitalized vs ambulatory was 32. Median CD4 count for all patients was 98. Median CD4 count of hospitalized patients was 76 and median CD4 for ambulatory patients was 192. Rates of TB positivity (TB+), defined as a patient with a sputum or gastric string sample that was culture positive by MODS or Lowenstein Jensen, was 44.9Â % in all patients, 46.1Â % in hospitalized patients, and 41.9Â % in ambulatory patients. Of those who were TB+, the mortality rate overall was 45.8Â %. The mortality rate for hospitalized TB+ patients was 51.4Â % and for ambulatory TB+ patients, it was 30.7Â %

- *The difference between the median age of hospitalized versus ambulatory patients was not statistically significant (p = 0.87)
- **The difference between the median CD4 count of hospitalized versus ambulatory (76.5 vs 192) was statistically significant (p = 0.01)
- **The difference between the rates of TB of hospitalized vs ambulatory patients (46.1 % vs 41.9 %) was not statistically significant (p = 0.70)
- ***The difference between the mortality of the TB+ hospitalized patients vs mortality of TB+ ambulatory patients (51.4 % vs 30.7 %) was not statistically significant (p = 0.08)
