Abstract
DIAZ JIDY, MANUEL et al. La coinfección de la tuberculosis y el VIH en Cuba. Rev Cubana Med Trop [online]. 1996, vol.48, n.3, pp.214-217. ISSN 0375-0760.
The first 28 Cuban HIV seropositive patients with bacteriologically confirmed tuberculosis in the period of 21 months between July, 1993, and March, 1995, were presented. The clinical characterization and the therapeutic response of the multidrug regimen considered by the National Program for Tuberculosis Control are stressed. The most frequent clinical form of presentation was the pulmonary one with 89.3 % No lesions were found in the chest X ray of 8 patients. The response to the multidrug treatment was satisfactory, which together with a group of procedures performed prevented the propagation of this disease among the HIV seropositive patients and the population in general.
