Beyond drugs: TB patients in Bangladesh need urgent attention for nutrition support during convalescence

Tuberculosis (TB) is a global disease, which is responsible for 1.4 million deaths each year (WHO 2010). Bangladesh is the sixth highest TB-burden country in the world. TB treatment may be complicated when malnutrition also coexists in patients. TB has been found to coexist with malnutrition amon...
