Abstract

The first cases of tuberculosis in the HIV infected were notified in the Kaliningrad Region in 1997. A total of 254 HIV-infected persons fell ill with tuberculosis in 1997-2003. In the HIV infected, the number of new cases of tuberculosis increased by 9.9 times in 2003 as compared with 1997; their proportion among the first detected patients with tuberculosis was 8%. In 2003, the incidence of tuberculosis in the HIV infected was 20.7 times greater than that in the general population. In this year, the rates of death in the HIV infected from tuberculosis were 34.6 times higher than those in the general population. The course and outcomes of tuberculoses were followed up in 165 patients with HIV infection. The diagnostic features of tuberculosis are shown in end-stage HIV infection. The findings showed the low efficiency of treatment for tuberculosis in patients with comorbidity. The early detection and treatment of tuberculosis are of priority in antituberculous work among the HIV-infected persons.
