Résumé

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. La sous-nutrition est le principal facteur de risque d’infection et de décès dus à la TB en Inde. Nous avons entrepris une analyse de micro-coût d’une intervention nutritionnelle destinée aux contacts familiaux des personnes atteintes de la TB à Puducherry, en Inde. Nous avons constaté que le coût total de la nourriture pendant 6 mois pour une famille de quatre personnes était de 4 USD par jour. Nous avons également identifié plusieurs régimes alternatifs et stratégies de réduction des coûts pour encourager une adoption plus large de la supplémentation nutritionnelle en tant qu’outil de santé publique.
