New York, Jan 14 (IANS) Malnutrition is the leading cause of immunodeficiency worldwide, a major reason for tuberculosis (TB), according to a global research. TB is the leading infectious killer worldwide, with 10.6 million cases and 1.6 million deaths in 2021 alone. The study, appearing online in the journal BMC Global & Public Health, showed that one in five incident TB cases were attributable to malnutrition, more than double the number attributed to HIV/AIDS. Like HIV/AIDS, malnutrition is a cause of secondary immunodeficiency, known as nutritionally acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (N-AIDS). However, N-AIDS remains the neglected cousin of HIV/AIDS in global TB elimination efforts.
