Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) are a plausible but under-characterized comorbidity in tuberculosis. In this prospective South Indian cohort, multiplex stool PCR detected STH in 43% of 137 adults with pulmonary tuberculosis and 34% of 230 household contacts. Food insecurity independently predicted co-infection. Current adult deworming gaps warrant evaluation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
