 AB    As we approach 2010, the year by which we were to have eliminated TB, we
       find this ancient disease is making a comeback. This comeback is due to
       many factors, but the role of HIV infection is clearly important. HIV
       infection can result in changes in the pathogenesis and presentation of
       infection with the tubercle bacillus. Consequently, as health care
       providers, we must respond with changes in our usual methods of
       prevention, treatment, and infection control. Whereas the increase in TB
       is currently limited to certain geographic areas, it is likely to spread
       more widely. All health care providers should be aware of the changing
       face of TB and have a high clinical index of suspicion for this disease.
