title: [The incidence of tuberculosis and HIV infection in the reformatory system of the Ivanovo region].
abstract: The 10.6-fold rise in the number of HIV-infected prisoners in the Ivanovo Region from 1999 to 2002 caused a 4.3-fold increase in the incidence of respiratory tuberculosis among them, which shows HIV infection to be a risk factor of tuberculosis among the contingents of penitentiary facilities. In this connection, HIV infection should be referred to as the most important tuberculosis epidemiological index requiring that antituberculois work should be organized among them.
