[Evaluation of the excess of cases of tuberculosis due to HIV/AIDS infection: a preliminary assay].
An exercise for the estimation of the percentage risk of cases of tuberculosis attributable to co-infection HIV/AIDS, using the following formula, is propounded: RA%=p[m2r(hR-h)] + (1-p)[m3r (hR-h)]/p[m1+m2r (hR+1-h)] + (1-p)[m3r (hR+1-h)] x 100 where: p= proportion of BK infected, r= risk of tuberculosis infection, h= proportion of persons infected with HIV, m1= breakdown rate of endogenous tuberculosis, m2= breakdown rate of exogenous tuberculosis, m3= breakdown rate of primary tuberculosis, R= relative risk of morbidity among persons infected with HIV.
