TB in HIV-infected individuals is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries and poses enormous problems to the health services. Despite the availability of curative therapy, the incidence of TB in children and adults is increasing at an alarming rate and poses a grave threat to TB control programmes in developing countries. Prospective studies to define basic clinical, microbiological and epidemiological features of the resurgence of childhood TB in the light of the HIV epidemic are required.
在发展中国家，艾滋病毒感染者中的结核病是发病和死亡的主要原因，给卫生服务带来了巨大问题。尽管有治愈性疗法，但儿童和成人结核病的发病率仍在以惊人的速度上升，对发展中国家的结核病控制计划构成了严重威胁。需要开展前瞻性研究，以根据艾滋病毒流行情况确定儿童结核病复发的基本临床、微生物学和流行病学特征。
