[Clinical course and causes of death in patients with HIV/AIDS-associated tuberculosis]

It was determined that most of the patients with HIV/AIDS-associated tuberculosis were antisocial way of life. There were more causes of newly diagnosed tuberculosis and drug resistance tuberculosis among the dead cases of HIV/AIDS-associated tuberculosis. Tuberculosis more often had started after HIV-infection. In patients who died of co-infection disseminated and infiltrative forms of pulmonary tuberculosis were determined more often. Death came more often from progression of disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis. Most patients had no commitment to a specific anti-TB and antiretroviral treatment.
