Tuberculosis in patients with HIV infection
Med Clin North Am.
1993 Nov.
Abstract
Tuberculosis is the most common opportunistic infection in patients with HIV infection worldwide and is the only one that is transmissible to others by the respiratory route. Tuberculosis is curable and preventable. Early detection of tuberculosis disease and infection in individuals with or at risk for HIV infection is paramount. This approach can minimize the devastating interaction between these two diseases.
