[The specific features of tuberculosis in patients with HIV infection in the Republic of Kalmykia (from the practice of The Republican AIDS Center)].
The paper analyzes the epidemic situation associated with tuberculosis and AIDS in the Republic of Kalmykia and shows the high incidence (21.2%) of tuberculosis in the HIV infected. The authors propose a classification of tuberculosis and AIDS according to the clinical manifestations and outcome of a disease. Tuberculosis associated with HIV infection has been established to run most severely in socially unfavorable groups of patients. The timely and regular preventive treatment of tuberculosis in the development of immunosuppression (CD4, 200 cells or less) makes it possible to postpone and, at times, prevent the development of a tuberculous process in these patients. Combined antiviral therapy permits more effective treatment of tuberculosis.
