CD4 + T counts with a course of antituberculous therapy in healthy and HIV-infected patients
1Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Ramathibodi Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand.
Abstract:
A prospective study of CD4 + T lymphocytes with a course of treatment on 20 HIV-infected patients with active tuberculosis receiving antituberculous drugs was compared with 30 non HIV-infected patients with active tuberculosis. The CD4 + T cell counts among non HIV-infected patients were 510 +/- 409 and increased to 634 +/- 382 and 867 +/- 248 at the third and sixth month of therapy. Among HIV-infected patients, the CD4 + T cell counts were 64 +/- 42 and decreased to 40 +/- 23 and 35 +/- 16 in the third and sixth month of therapy (p < 0.05).

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.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:
Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV
Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...
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...
