Conclusions: This study strengthens the evidence that indoor air environment including time spent indoors, SHS (though insignificant), and low socioeconomic condition and being female and belonging to minor communities increase the risk for childhood TB. Concerted efforts are needed to improve indoor air environment in urban areas for healthier future generations.
