[Tuberculosis and mycobacteriosis in HIV-1 infection]

Tuberculous and mycobacterial infections and diseases increase now everywhere. Patients HIV-1 infected or with AIDS get more and more a mycobacterial complication. The clinical and radiological features of this event are: the bilateral extension in the lung, the importance of these lesions, the atypical appearance of radiological shadows, the frequency of other concomitant opportunistic pneumopathies of non-mycobacterial origin. Tuberculosis are almost always induced by drug-sensible mycobacteria which usually allows clinical healing or clinical improvement.
