1,579 Citations1989Peter A. Selwyn, Diana Hartel +6 more
The data suggest that in HIV-infected persons tuberculosis most often results from the reactivation of latent tuberculous infection; these results lend support to recommendations for the aggressive use of chemoprophylaxis against tuberculosis in patients with HIV infection and a positive PPD test.

Evidence of infection with HIV-2 in 30 patients, almost all from West Africa, indicates that some cases of AIDS in West Africa may be caused by HIV-1, but the extent of the spread of this virus and its clinical correlates will require careful epidemiologic investigation.

The expected downward trend was halted in 1985 and reversed in 1986 with the occurrence of the first increase in the number of indigenous tuberculosis cases since national reporting began in 1953.

Clinical impressions suggest that the disease responds well to the usual therapy, however, a Central African study found that mortality 12 months after the start of the usual drug therapy was 32.5% in HIV-seropositives compared with 1.5%, and several countries in Africa use short-course drug therapy for smear-positive pulmonary TB.
