Prevalence of HIV infection among tuberculosis patients in a teaching hospital in south-west Nigeria: A four-year retrospective study

Further research also needs to be conducted to provide more insight into the epidemiology of co-infection in order to better address the dual burden of HIV and TB among tuberculosis patients in Nigeria.
