Abstract:

Coinfection with tuberculosis and AIDS poses a significant public health challenge in China. The interplay between these two diseases complicates the identification of clinical characteristics, increases the complexity of treatment and management, accelerates disease progression, prolongs the anti-tuberculosis treatment course, and contributes to multiple complications, including opportunistic infections and drug resistance. The prognosis for patients with dual infection is generally poor. Enhancing the understanding of the unique challenges and dangers posed by Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB)/HIV coinfection, thoroughly investigating the various factors that influence patients’ quality of life and prognosis, and implementing precise, efficient, and comprehensive prevention and control measures at an early stage are crucial for improving disease outcomes and controlling these two major infectious diseases. The authors review the current status of tuberculosis complicated by AIDS, the unique challenges and risks associated with clinical coinfection, the factors influencing patient prognosis, and the comprehensive prevention and treatment strategies for comorbidity. The aim is to provide insights that may inform the optimization of management policies and the clinical prevention and treatment of patients with MTB/HIV coinfection.
