Tuberculosis and AIDS in South Carolina: a case-control study

F S Sy et al. J S C Med Assoc. 1993 Feb.

Abstract

The epidemiologic features of tuberculosis patients with AIDS or HIV infection in this study do not appear to be different from those reported from previous studies. Tuberculosis patients with AIDS or HIV positive antibody in South Carolina are predominantly black males who live in the urban areas and are 25 to 44 years old. They have more extrapulmonary sites and more anergic reactions to tuberculin tests. Physicians and other public health workers should be aware of the abnormal clinical and laboratory manifestations of tuberculosis patients with AIDS and HIV infection. It is also imperative for tuberculosis control programs to offer counseling and HIV antibody testing to tuberculosis patients.
