[Progress in research of incidence of co-infection of HIV and Mycobacterium tuberculosis and influencing factors].

The co-infection of HIV and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) poses a severe challenge for the prevention and control of infectious disease, resulting in poor clinical outcomes of the patients and risk for wide spread. As steady progress in global health, the co-infection of HIV/MTB has been basically controlled, and the new cases are generally declining. However, its incidence remained high in resource-limited areas. The incidence of the co-infection of HIV/MTB is associated with the interaction among individual, social, health service, and natural factors. Comprehensive measures are needed to reduce this disease burden. This paper summarized the epidemiological characteristics of the co-infection of HIV/MTB and influencing factors both at home and abroad to provide evidence for the identifications of high-risk populations and areas and development of targeted prevention measures for the purpose of reduce the incidence of co-infection of HIV/MTB.
