[Diagnosis and short-term therapeutic effect of AIDS complicated by tuberculosis]
1Department of Phthisiology, First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College, Weihui 453100, China.
Objective:
To investigate the shore-term therapeutic effects of AIDS complicated by tuberculosis.
Methods:
Ninety-eight AIDS patients with tuberculosis living in a village in Henan province were observed.
Results:
Among the 98 patients, fever, cough, night sweating, weight loss, and superficial lymph node swelling were the common symptoms. Highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) combined with a 6-month anti-tuberculosis treatment protocol with streptomycin, isoniazid, rifampin, and pyrazinamide (2SHRZ/4HRZ) resulted in improvement of the patients' clinical symptoms and signs as well as the immune functions.
Conclusion:
AIDS complicated by tuberculosis should receive due medical attention and sputum smear examination for anti-acid bacillus combined with X-ray examination possesses good diagnostic value for tuberculosis in these patients, for whom short-term anti-tuberculosis treatment may have beneficial effects.

Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the progression...
Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
