Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze HIV/tuberculosis (TB) coinfection patterns in a country with high HIV/AIDS rates between 1998 and 2007.
- Data from TB registries were used to assess yearly TB incidence, HIV coinfection rates, and mortality rates of coinfected patients compared to those on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
- The results showed a 23.6% coinfection rate among 2010 TB patients, with HAART patients having double the survival rate, highlighting ongoing challenges and the potential benefits of increased HIV screening and HAART coverage in developing regions.
