Global lung health: the colliding epidemics of tuberculosis, tobacco smoking, HIV and COPD
Open accessAbstract
Tuberculosis (TB), smoking, HIV and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are burgeoning epidemics in developing countries. The link between TB and HIV is well established. Less well recognised is the strong relationship between tobacco smoking and the development and natural history of TB. These associations are of considerable relevance to public health and disease outcomes in individuals with TB. Moreover, tobacco smoking, a modifiable risk factor, is associated with poorer outcomes in HIV-associated opportunistic infections, of which TB is the commonest in developing countries. It is now also becoming clear that TB, like tobacco smoke, besides its known consequences of bronchiectasis and other pulmonary morbidity, is also a significant risk factor for the development of COPD. Thus, there is a deleterious and synergistic interaction between TB, HIV, tobacco smoking and COPD in a large proportion of the world’s population. Further work, specifically mechanistic and epidemiological studies, is required to clarify the role of tobacco smoke on the progression of TB and HIV infection, and to assess the impact of smoking cessation interventions. These interactions deserve urgent attention and have major implications for coordinated public health planning and policy recommendations in the developing world.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
