School-age children and adolescents (5 to 19 years),
and adults, including lactating women, with active
TB and moderate undernutrition, who fail to
regain normal body mass index after 2 months of TB
treatment, as well as those who are losing weight
during TB treatment, should be evaluated for
adherence and comorbid conditions. They should
also receive nutrition assessment and counselling
and, if indicated, be provided with locally available
nutrient-rich or fortified supplementary foods as
necessary to restore normal nutritional status.
