Tuberculosis is the top agenda among opportunistic diseases and the most leading cause of death in HIV/AIDS patients. A total of 406 AIDS patients were recruited in this retrospective and descriptive study. 123/406 (30.3%) were diagnosed as AIDS-related tuberculosis (TB). Their age range from 17 to 69 years with a mean (±SD) of 37.2 (±9.51. There were significant association between occupation, or mode of HIV transmission and tuberculosis infection (p< 0.05). Pulmonary tuberculosis 104/123 (84.6%) was the most common disease location among TB patients. We found the significant association between the clinical presentations i.e. fever, cough, sputum or hemoptysis and TB patients (p<0.05), moreover, the level of CD4 cell count plays a significant role in association with the disease (p<0.05) in this study.
结核病是机会性疾病中的首要议题，也是艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者最主要的死因。在这项回顾性描述性研究中，共招募了406例艾滋病患者。其中123/406（30.3%）被诊断为艾滋病相关结核病（TB）。他们的年龄在17至69岁之间，平均（±标准差）为37.2（±9.51）。职业、艾滋病毒传播方式与结核病感染之间存在显著关联（p<0.05）。肺结核在结核病患者中最为常见，占104/123（84.6%）。我们发现临床表现即发热、咳嗽、咳痰或咯血与结核病患者之间存在显著关联（p<0.05），此外，在本研究中，CD4细胞计数水平与该疾病的关联也起着重要作用（p<0.05）。
