[Practice guideline prevention, diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis in patients with an HIV infection].

An interdisciplinary workgroup from the National Committee for Practical Tuberculosis Control in the Netherlands has written an evidence-based practice guideline on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of HIV-infected patients with active tuberculosis or latent tuberculosis infection. The diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis are effectively the same in patients with or without an HIV infection. The diagnosis is more complex in a patient with an HIV infection due to the effect of the immunodeficiency on diagnostic parameters.
