Abstract
The evidence suggests an association between HIV, TB and DVT. There are no studies of this link in the Southern African setting, where the incidence of both of these conditions (HIV and TB) is high. We therefore undertook a study to define the incidence of HIV and TB in patients with confirmed DVT in this setting. The aim of this study is to describe the incidence of HIV, TB and the more commonly accepted risk factors in patients with confirmed DVT in a South African public hospital.
