[Extrapulmonary tuberculosis in HIV-infected patients].
The authors analyze 143 cases of extrapulmonary and generalized tuberculosis in HIV-infected patients. There is a steady increase in the number of patients with multiple organ tuberculosis that frequently acquires the pattern of an acute generalized septic process. Generalized tuberculosis predominantly develops in HIV-infected patients with a considerable reduction in immunological parameters and it is, in these cases, of primary generalized nature. The efficiency of treatment is very low in patients with multiple organ tuberculosis. Despite therapy, the progression of the disease results in early death. However, the prospects for further inclusion of highly active antiretroviral therapy in multimodality treatment for comorbidity give hope for the solution of this problem.
