Article Synopsis
- Sonography is an effective diagnostic imaging tool for patients with HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB) co-infection, allowing for the identification of various complications like enlarged lymph nodes and pleural effusion.
- An extensive literature review identified themes around the use of ultrasound in diagnosing extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) in resource-constrained settings, highlighting its rapid, cost-effective, and portable nature.
- Training sonographers in areas heavily affected by HIV/AIDS and TB to utilize focused assessments with sonography for HIV (FASH) can improve early diagnosis and treatment, contributing to global health goals of reducing HIV and TB epidemics.
