Because of the known epidemiological links between tuberculosis and HIV infection in developing countries, a systematic study of HIV infection prevalence among tuberculous patients has been conducted since 1989 in some centres of the capital and extended to other towns in 1992. HIV infection prevalence is still low (<200/100,000) with tuberculous patients. This result must incite to continue the surveillance of the ineluctable growth of HIV prevalence and to strengthen the tuberculosis Program in anticipation of subsequent problems.
由于发展中国家结核病与艾滋病毒感染之间存在已知的流行病学关联,自1989年起在首都的一些中心对结核病患者中的艾滋病毒感染患病率进行了系统研究,并于1992年扩展至其他城镇。结核病患者中的艾滋病毒感染患病率仍然较低(<200/100,000)。这一结果必须促使继续监测艾滋病毒患病率不可避免的增长,并在预期后续问题时加强结核病防治项目。
