Project Description
Immune-mediated adverse drug reactions (IM-ADRs) are a major obstacle to treatment success in both TB and HIV and a cause of tremendous morbidity, management complexity and economic burden. IM-ADRs are 100-fold more common in persons with HIV/AIDs, and over-represented in Africa; however, the immune pathogenesis is poorly understood, especially in non-European and HIV-infected populations. This study will fill significant gaps in our understanding of IM-ADR, for drugs used to treat HIV and TB in African populations.
