Tuberculosis (TB) has caused significant morbidity and mortality for centuries. Although TB incidence and case-fatality rates declined markedly over the course of the 20th century, aided by the development of effective anti-TB treatments, these trends were altered by the emergence of HIV in the 1980s. HIV has had a substantial effect on the incidence, clinical manifestations, treatment, and outcome of TB. Globally, HIV and TB are the 2 leading infectious causes of death. Coinfection with these pathogens can be particularly devastating, especially in the developing world, where the burden of disease is high and access to effective therapy is low.
The World Health Organization (WHO) Global Surveillance and Monitoring Project estimated that there were approximately 8 million new cases and 16 million prevalent cases of TB in 1997. Incidence was highest in sub-Saharan Africa, and the greatest absolute number of cases occurred in Southeast Asia.1 The global estimate of HIV coinfection in TB cases increased during the 1990s and reached 8% in 1997. Africa had the highest proportion of HIV-infected TB cases (32%), but India had the greatest absolute number of HIV/TB-coinfected individuals.
TB incidence is far lower in Europe and the Americas than in Africa or Southeast Asia.1 Between 1993 and 1999, the rate of HIV coinfection ranged from 10% to 15% among TB patients who underwent HIV screening in the U.S.; among TB patients aged 25 to 44 years, the incidence of coinfection was 19% to 29%. Unfortunately, as of 1999, fewer than 50% of people diagnosed with TB were screened for HIV. In the U.S., persons with HIV/TB coinfection usually are from economically disadvantaged communities in major cities.2
The TB case-fatality rate is closely linked to HIV prevalence.3 Limited autopsy data suggest that the increased TB fatality rate may be attributable to …
