Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Abstract

Abstract Data on alcohol use and incident tuberculosis (TB) infection are needed. In adults aged ≥15 in rural Uganda (N = 49 585), estimated risk of incident TB was 29.2% with alcohol use versus 19.2% without (RR: 1.49; 95%CI: 1.40–1.60). There is potential for interventions to interrupt transmission among people who drink alcohol.
