Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-infected persons are at a higher risk of developing Tuberculous Meningitis (TBM). We aimed to estimate the prevalence of TBM-HIV co-infection. We systematically searched Pubmed/Medline, Embase and Cochrane library databases from January 1, 2000, to January 31, 2017, to find relevant studies. We employed the random-effects meta-analysis model to estimate the pooled prevalence of TBM-HIV co-infection. Twenty-six eligible studies showed the prevalence of HIV in TBM patients. In the pooled analyses, the prevalence of HIV was 30% (95% CI: 12-47) in patients with confirmed TBM, and 12.1% (95% CI: 7.3-19.2) in patients with suspected TBM. This study shows a high prevalence of TBM-HIV co-infection. Establishing proper diagnostic criteria and preventive measures for TBM infections could assist in the prevention and management of TBM infection, particularly TBM-HIV co-infection.
感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）的人患结核性脑膜炎（TBM）的风险更高。我们旨在估计TBM-HIV合并感染的患病率。我们系统检索了2000年1月1日至2017年1月31日期间的Pubmed/Medline、Embase和Cochrane图书馆数据库，以查找相关研究。我们采用随机效应荟萃分析模型来估计TBM-HIV合并感染的合并患病率。26项符合条件的研究显示了TBM患者中HIV的患病率。在汇总分析中，确诊TBM的患者中HIV患病率为30%（95%CI：12-47），疑似TBM的患者中HIV患病率为12.1%（95%CI：7.3-19.2）。本研究显示TBM-HIV合并感染的患病率很高。建立适当的TBM感染诊断标准和预防措施有助于TBM感染的预防和管理，特别是TBM-HIV合并感染。
