  2. IQR inter-quartile range, TB active tuberculosis, TMP-SMX trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole 160/80 mg chemoprophylaxis
  3. aA total of 15,556 patients experienced 16,209 cases of tuberculosis. The female proportions for these 15,556 patients are: 48.6 % (7552/15,556) of all patients; 34.7 % (1347/3886) of HIV uninfected patients; 56.3 % (5584/9923) of HIV infected patients; and 35.6 % (621/1747) of patients with HIV status not recorded
