Some studies reported a few factors that contribute to mortality among critically ill patients with TB. Disseminated disease, usually in the setting of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, has been recognized as an important predictor of death. Other factors that can influence mortality rates are extensive fibrocavitary disease and consolidations on chest radiographs. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis and multiple organ failure (MOF) also carry a very high mortality [5] [6] [7] .
