title: [Tuberculosis and HIV infection in the Sverdlovsk Region].
abstract: In 2003, there were 6.9-, 4.6-, and 5.5-fold increases in the prevalence, incidence of, and mortality due to tuberculosis, respectively among the HIV-infected as compared with the HIV-uninfected population (adults and children) of the Sverdlovsk Region. As HIV infection progresses from its preclinical stages to AIDS, the tuberculosis epidemic situation in the Sverdlovsk Region begins to drastically deteriorate with a predominant rise in tuberculosis mortality rates. The large number of tuberculosis-unvaccinated babies born to HIV-infected mothers cause an increase in primary infection with tuberculosis and in its incidence in young childhood.
