RENBP and Sepsis: HIV −ve ATB presented with similar Ag levels as LTBI (i.e. OD <0.490), but displayed better ant-TMKmt IgG responses (OD>2.00; 95% CI 2.044 to 2.978) relative to HIV +ve ATB (OD<1.600; 95% CI 1.170 to 1.528); suggesting a better control of M. tuberculosis-septicemia (Figure 2, Supporting Figure 2, Table 2, and Supporting file S1 section B).
