Abstract:
The epidemiological HIV infection situation in the Ukraine in the past 4 years is analyzed. In patients with AIDS, the clinical manifestations of tuberculosis are atypical; prolonged intoxication, negative tuberculin tests, no bacterial isolation in half the cases. These patients should be treated with 4 - 5 antituberculous drugs, by taking into account the fact that only long-term continuous therapy may yield a positive effect.
