[Tuberculosis among AIDS patients in Ullev]l hospital].

Records of patients with concomitant HIV infection and human tuberculosis were analysed. Nine out of 232 AIDS patients (4%) developed human tuberculosis with a preponderance (6/9) of immigrants from sub-Saharan Africa. In three patients the diagnosis was delayed because of atypical manifestations of the disease and lack of typical chest X-ray findings. Tuberculin skin tests were positive in only three patients, and became negative in one patient who developed two episodes of tuberculosis. All the patients who complied with the conventional triple anti-tuberculosis regimen responded well, and no multidrug-resistant tuberculosis was observed.
