title: [Comparative study of patients with tuberculosis with and without HIV infection in the Federal District].
abstract: The main aim of this paper is to study the degree of association between the variables: HIV positive and negative tuberculosis patients, in relation to the location and extension of tuberculosis lesion and also to observe whether there is or not an agreement in distribution of tuberculosis disease between male and female groups, infected or not by HIV, according to their age. Seventy-eight tuberculosis/HIV positive and 2950 tuberculosis patients without HIV between 1985 and 1992 have been analyzed. The data have been collected directly from the files kept at Hemocentro and Instituto de Saude do Distrito Federal, Brasilia-DF Brazil. Statistical analysis using the X-squared and Kolmogorov Smirnov's tests have been applied. It has been observed a significant increase in the cases of pulmonary cavity and not cavity moderate tuberculosis among the tuberculosis/HIV positive patients when compared with the ones only infected with tuberculosis. In the age group below 40 years old, the male presented a higher incidence of cases when compared with the ones without HIV. In the age group below 34 years old, women showed a significative increase of the disease, when compared to men in the same age group.
