Without HIV, the tuberculosis (TB) epidemic would now be in decline almost everywhere. However, instead of looking forward to the demise of TB, countries that are badly affected by HIV are struggling against a rising tide of HIV-infected patients with TB. As a consequence, global TB control policies have had to be revised and control of TB now demands increased investment. This paper assesses what is being done to address the issue and what remains to be done.
如果没有艾滋病病毒，结核病疫情如今在几乎所有地方都会呈下降趋势。然而，那些受艾滋病病毒严重影响的国家非但没有盼着结核病走向消亡，反而在与感染艾滋病病毒的结核病患者人数不断增加的趋势作斗争。因此，全球结核病控制政策不得不进行修订，结核病控制现在需要增加投资。本文评估了为解决这一问题正在采取的措施以及仍有待开展的工作。
