  • TB epidemiology

    Open AccessRubeshan Perumal, Kogieleum Naidoo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    With nearly 70% of all TB patients being co-infected with HIV in our setting, it is not surprising that the age and sex distribution of TB is increasingly resembling the distribution of HIV in this region of dual hyperendemicity. New TB service design must begin to reflect the presence of young women as a significant group burdened by the disease

  • Preferential adherence to antiretroviral therapy over tuberculosis treatment

    Open AccessAmrita Daftary, Nesri Padayatchi et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2014

    Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and second-line antituberculosis medications is essential to achieve successful outcomes among individuals co-infected with HIV and multi or extensively drug-resistant TB (M/XDR-TB). In 2012-2013, we designed a qualitative study to explore barriers to adherence in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. We conducted six focus groups comprising 23 adults receiving treatment for either MDR-TB (n = 2) or XDR-TB (n = 21…

  • Social constraints to TB/HIV healthcare

    Amrita Daftary, Nesri PadayatchiARTICLEAIDS Care2012

    There is a growing imperative to improve the coordination and collaboration of tuberculosis (TB) and HIV healthcare services in response to escalating rates of TB/HIV coinfection. Patient-specific challenges associated with the delivery of TB/HIV care have been minimally explored in this regard. As part of a larger study conducted in South Africa, this article highlights coinfected patients' experiences with TB and HIV healthcare in light of thei…

  • The whole is greater than the sum of the parts

    Open AccessRubeshan Perumal, Nesri Padayatchi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2009

    The full potential of an integrated TB-HIV service has not been fully harvested. Missed opportunities discount existing efforts in both programmes, will perpetuate the burden of disease, and prevent major gains in future interventions. This paper outlines simple, readily-implementable strategies to narrow the gap and reclaim existing missed opportunities

  • HIV testing and disclosure

    Amrita Daftary, Nesri Padayatchi et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2007

    In South Africa, more than 60% of TB patients have HIV co-infection. Voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) is critical to effective HIV prevention, and TB facilities are optimal venues for delivery of these services. This study employed qualitative research methods to explore the decision-making processes for HIV testing and serostatus disclosure by 21 patients hospitalized with multi/extensively-drug resistant TB (M/XDR-TB) in Durban, KwaZulu N…
