Slide 2 Rationale of the study were both HIVor AIDS and TB are increasing in Thailand, especially in the Northern region, and knowledge on the extent to which HIV+TB contributes to transmission of the disease will be useful for further planning of intervention.
Slide 3 Objective of this study is to compare prevalence of TB infection (as measured by PPD skin test) between among household contacts of HIV positive active TB patients and HIV negative active TB patients.
This is a cross-sectional study, carried out on household contact tracing of TB index cases who were a mixture of HIV-positive and HIV-negative.
Sample size This study expecting 48 % of PPD test positive among contacts of HIV+ TB index cases and 63 % of those HIV-TB. Using 95% confidence level and 80% power the sample size is 182 contact in each group Assuming 3 contact/index case and a design effect of 3, n in each group is 182 /3 x 3 = 182 Another 10% compensation for no contact Final sample size in each group = 200 index cases
