34 Survival among patients with AIDS and TB and initiation of ART at GHESKIO-Haiti Koenig S, Fitzgerald JW, Pape JW CID 2009

35 High Early mortality in ART programs Risk Factors for Death well described Causes of death less well described TB is major player based on ART cohort,pre-art autopsy studies, and TB incidence trends Tuberculosis is a common incident infection post ART initiation associated with increased mortality

36 Do community deaths have a similar pattern to inpatients death? Do ART treated patients have the same spectrum of deaths? Could more aggressive screening for TB or empiric TB treatment in high risk patients modify mortality risk?
