coinfection known to the institution was collected from the
notifications registered in the Epidemiological Surveillance System in
HUCFF-UFRJ, in the period of 1988 to 1992. This analyses showed that
41.3% of the cases initially diagnosed as tuberculosis present
coinfection, with a significant raise in the cases of extra-pulmonary
forms. Since 1990, there's been remarkable decline in the increase rate
of the disseminated form. Concerning the total number of cases of all
clinical forms of coinfection, in 1992, it occurred predominantly in the
male sex and in the ages between 30 and 39 years. In the period of 1988
to 1992, the relative proportional variation of the lethality rate of
the cases, showed a decline of 233% in the severs forms (miliary,
meningitis, disseminated); and of 34.5% in the pulmonary form of
coinfection cases. This hospital is distinguished as a reference center
for the treatment of tuberculosis/AIDS coinfection, having achieved
relevant results in the treatment of the severe forms of tuberculosis.
