Abstract
The prevalence of undernutrition among TB patients in Ethiopia was noticeably high. The result of this study showed that undernutrition is more severe in the Amhara regional state. Additionally, TB-HIV co-infected patients are highly affected by undernutrition. Therefore, the Ministry of Health in collaboration with clinicians should give special attention to provide nutritional care and support for TB patients as part of regular care. Moreover, special nutritional support should be designed for TB-HIV co-infected patients.
