Abstract
High rates of tuberculosis (TB) and HIV co-infection are often linked to mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which contribute further to poor health. Karl Peltzer et al conducted a study to establish the extent of PTSD symptoms associated with TB, TB/HIV co-infection and the retreatment of TB patients whose first treatment was unsuccessful.-
