عنوان انگلیسی Frequency of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection among Iranian Patients with HIV/AIDS by PPD Test
چکیده انگلیسی مقاله Persons infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are particularly susceptible to tuberculosis, either by latent infection reactivation or by a primary infection with rapid progression to active disease. This study was done to determine the frequency of tuberculosis infection among Iranian patients with HIV/AIDS. A total of 262 HIV/AIDS patients attending all three HIV/AIDS health care centers of Tehran, Iran were enrolled in this study. A detailed history and physical examination were obtained from all HIV patients suspected of having pulmonary M. tuberculosis . A positive PPD skin test was used as a diagnostic parameter for probability of TB infection. Out of 262 HIV/AIDS patients, a total of 63 (24%) were shown to have the tuberculosis infection based on a positive PPD skin test. Of the patients with positive PPD skin test, 22 (35%) had pulmonary Tuberculosis, 2 (3.2%) had extrapulmonary tuberculosis, and 39 (53%) had no evidence of M. tuberculosis infection (latent infection). Also 8 (12.7%) had history of long term residence in a foreign country, 32 (50.8%) were exposed to an index case, and 9 (14.3%) had past history of pulmonary tuberculosis, while only 33.3% had clinical manifestations of TB (active disease). There was no resistant case of tuberculosis . Our study showed that near 24% of Iranian patients with HIV/AIDS were infected with M. tuberculosis . This finding denotes the need to improve the diagnostic and preventive measures, and also prompt treatment of this type of infection in the HIV infected individuals.
