CD4 and tuberculosis: Multivariate analysis of mortality among HIV infected individuals showed that participants above 35 yr of age, CD4 count less than or equal to 100 cells/μl at baseline, presence of tuberculosis at any study time point and ART naive were independently associated with high mortality [(RR=1.97; 95% CI: (1.23, 3.14), P=0.005, (RR=33.20, 95%CI (7.59, 145.29), P<0.001, (RR=2.38, 95% CI (1.38, 4.09), P=0.002 and RR=5.60, 95% CI (3.18, 9.86), P<0.001, respectively].
