AB Tuberculosis, once on the steady decline in the western world, has
resurfaced with renewed vigor in the wake of the human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic. People
with HIV infection are both more likely to contract primary tuberculosis
and at greater risk for reactivation of latent tuberculosis. Tuberculous
disease may present with atypical signs and symptoms in HIV-infected
hosts because of alterations in the immune system. Superimposed on the
virulent interaction of HIV and tuberculosis is the emerging problem of
multidrug resistant strains that often resist currently available
therapies. HIV-positive health professionals working in high-risk
environments pose a special problem, while populations unable to comply
with currently available pharmacological therapies pose another. We have
many tools available to combat the resurgence of tuberculosis, but new
methods of diagnosis and new approaches to treatment are sorely needed.
