“…4,5 Overall, the childhood treatment success rate was similar in Nouakchott and in the rest of Mauritania, but was lower than in adults (61% vs. 70%), and also lower than in other settings in Africa (72-85%). 12,[25][26][27] The LTFU rate of 13% was similar to that in other countries (e.g., 18% in Togo), and reflects the fragmentation of diagnosis and treatment in Mauritania.…”

“…Overall TB/HIV co-infection in our series showed a prevalence of 2.3%, much lower than elsewhere in Ethiopia, where it ranges from 10 to 28.2% [8, 9, 30–34]; in other African countries, where it ranges from 14 to 50% [19, 31, 33]; and in Southeast Asia [22, 35]. The low proportion of our patients tested for HIV precludes any conclusion on why the prevalence was so low; however, we can cautiously speculate that it is because HIV is less prevalent in rural populations than in other areas of Ethiopia [36, 37].…”

“…Attention should also be paid toward LTFU among certain special populations. The proportion of LTFU among childhood TB patients ranges from 4 to 37% [52][53][54][55][56][57]. Among the children with drug-resistant TB, it ranges from 5 to 19.09% [58][59][60].…”
