在艾滋病毒高流行的环境中，我们研究了：(1)肺结核（PTB）和艾滋病毒的流行；肺结核的临床和流行病学特征；（三）诊断肺结核标准程序的有效性。在亚的斯亚贝巴509名连续被评估为肺结核临床怀疑的门诊患者中，33.0%的患者经培养证实患有肺结核。PTB患者、非tb患者和对照组hiv -1阳性分别占57.1%、38.5%和8.3%。经培养验证的肺结核的预测因子是年龄
In a setting with a high prevalence of HIV we studied (i) the prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and HIV; (ii) clinical and epidemiological characteristics of PTB; and (iii) the usefulness of standard procedures for diagnosing PTB. Of 509 consecutive outpatients evaluated on clinical suspicion of PTB in Addis Ababa, 33.0% were culture-verified as having PTB. PTB patients, non-TB patients and controls were HIV-1-positive in 57.1%, 38.5% and 8.3% of cases, respectively. Predictors for culture-verified PTB were age
