title: [Tuberculosis in patients with HIV infection: clinico-morphological and epidemiological aspects].
abstract: A contingent of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis concurrent with HIV infection in 1997 and 1999 is analyzed. The first analysis covers all cases of this combined pathology occurring in Russia throughout the notification of HIV infection in the country. The specific features of the course of tuberculosis have been defined in relation to the stage of HIV infection. The second analysis involved the data on such patients in 59 subjects of the Russian Federation in 1999. It has shown that there are changes in the composition of the contingent that has combined pathology, which is associated with the HIV transmission route that is new for Russia. This in turn resulted in that patients with HIV infection were much more frequently detected at the tuberculosis facilities. The altered HIV-infection epidemic situation enhances the topicality of this problem for phthiologists.
