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.
