Abstract:

Malnutrition is one of the common outcomes of the patients with active tuberculosis (TB), and it is also a risk factor for early death of the TB patients. Without interventions, a vicious circle between TB and malnutrition will be formed, resulting in more serious clinical manifestations, higher incidence of adverse drug events (ADEs), and higher risk of death in TB patients. Along with the improvement of the Chinese average living level and the development of clinical nutriology, more and more attentions have been paid to the nutrition management of TB patients. In order to design more targeted nutrition supplement programs, it is necessary to determine the specific situation of various nutrients deficiency in TB patients. Based on the analysis of national and international researches about the nutrients of TB patients, the author comprehensively expounded the clinical characteristics of the TB patients when they were short of macronutrients, vitamins and minerals etc., combed the ideas of nutrition support treatment to the TB patients, and provided the targeted supplement indicators of various nutrients.
