Abstract
The course of tuberculosis and efficiency of combination antituberculous and antiretroviral therapy were analyzed in 30 patients with late-stage HIV infection. The acute progressive course of tuberculosis was found to reduce the role of prophylactic fluorographic examination in this category of patients. Various diagnostic mini-invasive surgical procedures proved to be of great informative value (91.7% sensitivity) in the diagnosis of atypical tuberculosis. During the intensive phase, combination antituberculous and antiviral therapy with its high adherence yielded good clinical results: the median CD4 lymphocyte increase was 65 cells/µl; the therapy was acknowledged to be effective in treating the tuberculous process in 76.7% of the patients; mortality was 6.7%.
