Co-incidence of HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis--Chicago, 1982-1993.
In 1985, the epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection was recognized as an influence on the increasing occurrence of tuberculosis (TB) in the United States (1). Programs to control and prevent TB require information characterizing the interaction between HIV infection and TB, particularly in locally defined populations. This report describes the overall occurrence of TB in Chicago (1990 population: 2,783,726) during 1982-1993 and characterizes the co-incidence of TB and HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in Chicago during 1989-1993.
