Abstract
Aim. To study ambulatory records of HIV-positive patients and to identify patients suffering from tuberculosis and to assess risk factors for the development of TB.
Materials and methods. To achieve the objective we retrospectively analyzed the outpatient records (form 25/u) of 786 HIV-infected individuals, (509 children (64.8%) and 277 adults (35.2%), who were on the outpatient registry of the Centers for HIV Control and Prevention and evaluated the epidemiologic risk factors for high tuberculosis infection.
Results and discussion. Of the 509 examined children living with HIV (0 to 17 years), tuberculosis was detected in 47 (9.2%) and among 277 adults (18 to 59 years) in 36 (13%). Out of 786 (100%) HIV-infected patients examined, 83 (10.6%) had tuberculosis.
Conclusion. It was found that people living with HIV infection are at risk of developing active TB, especially its drug-resistant forms. The leading risk factor for tuberculosis was family contact with a patient with an active form of tuberculosis secreting MBT.
