Abstract:
The overlapping epidemiology of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and tuberculosis (TB) and the catastrophic consequences of the interactions between the two epidemics have led to increased morbidity and mortality due to HIV-associated TB. While effective therapy is available for both conditions, there are major challenges in the concurrent treatment of HIV and TB co-infection. This review examines the interactions between HIV and TB infections and reviews the current status of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in patients with co-infection. Specific questions relating to optimal timing of concurrent HAART, challenges to concurrent HAART, optimal regimens and future considerations are discussed.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis V
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.
