Abstract

Undernutrition is the leading risk factor for TB infection and death in India. We undertook a micro-costing analysis of a nutritional intervention for household contacts of people living with TB in Puducherry, India. We found that the total 6-month food cost for a family of four was USD4/day. We also identified several alternative regimens and cost-lowering strategies to encourage wider adoption of nutritional supplementation as a public health tool.
