- W4385202403 abstract "Introduction India accounts for one-fourth of the global tuberculosis (TB) burden and also faces a rising burden of non-communicable diseases. Only a few have studied the association between the infective pathogenesis of TB and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Methods A cross-sectional exploratory analytical design was used to compare CVD risk factors and immunological and radiological parameters. This was a pilot study conducted in two primary health centers in urban Puducherry between February 2020 and March 2021. Household contacts (HHC) were either spouses or siblings of the newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients selected for comparison as their exposure to infection would be similar to those who were diseased yet did not develop illness. Assuming a difference of 5% in CVD risk between the general population and TB patients, with a 95% confidence interval, the sample size calculated was 153 in each group by nMaster v2.0. Considering the feasibility and resource constrain, we recruited 50 newly diagnosed PTB patients, their age- and gender-matched 50 HHC and 50 PTB patients who completed treatment a year before. CVD risk factors were compared using chi-square or Fisher exact test. Interleukins-6 (IL-6), interferon-gamma (INF-γ), highly specific - C reactive protein (hs-CRP), and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) were compared using ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis test. Results Most participants from each group belonged to lower socio-economic strata and were males (40/50). Alcohol intake was higher among newly diagnosed and treatment-completed PTB patients (82.5% vs 72.5%). Excess salt intake (58%) was present more in newly diagnosed PTB patients. General and abdominal obesity were seen more among HHC (64% and 84%) and treatment-completed PTB patients (50% and 74%). IL-6 was higher in newly diagnosed PTB patients, whereas INF-γ and hs-CRP were higher in treatment-completed PTB patients. The largest proportion of those having high CIMT values was also in the treatment-completed PTB patients. Conclusion Levels of immune markers hint at the role of inflammation due to TB disease being related to the high CIMT values among the newly diagnosed and treatment-completed PTB patients. CVD risk was higher among TB patients even if they had completed treatment and were declared cured." @default.
