Trend of HIV infection in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in South India

A Comparative Study of Chest Radiographic Features Between Hiv Seropositive and Hiv Seronegative Patients of Pulmonary Tuberculosis

“…Majority of the study group patients were relatively young. Similar age trend was earlier reported by Mohanty et al [9] from Bombay and Solomon et al [10] from Madras.…”

“…Among the Indian population, higher incidence of cavitation was noted in HIV +ve cases, in Pondicherry series (50% of 6 patients) [15] and in a study at Madras (91.67% of 24 patients) [10]. Mohanty et al [9] also reported higher incidence of cavitation in both the groups (52.63% vs 54.25%).…”

HIV and Tuberculosis in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, 1997–2002

“…In developing countries, such patients add to the load of already strained TB programs. Although the effect of HIV on the TB epidemic is extensively documented in sub-Saharan Africa ( 2 ), less is known about its effect in Southeast Asia ( 3 , 4 ). Although HIV rates in the general Southeast Asian population are still relatively low ( 5 ), many of these countries have high prevalence of latent TB infection, which makes them vulnerable to the effects of a combined epidemic.…”

HIV seropositivity in high risk individuals and in pulmonary tuberculosis

“…10,11 The patients were mostly males (88.88%) as seen in other major Indian studies (Anuradha et al and Mohanty et al). 12,5 HIV seropositive patients were more from rural than from urban areas. This is different from Rizwan et al who reported 9.6% residents from large towns, 4% from small towns and 2% from rural areas.…”
