In the early 1990s cases of tuberculosis in people with HIV infection and AIDS were undernotified. A study to evaluate changes in notification rates in two inner London local authorities was undertaken for the period January 1993-June 1996 inclusive.
For residents of the two local authorities, tuberculosis notifications were identified using a local database, and cases of AIDS with a recorded diagnosis of tuberculosis were identified from AIDS case reports.
During the study period, only 13 (32 per cent) of the 41 AIDS cases with a recorded diagnosis of tuberculosis were also notified as a case of tuberculosis. However, the proportion of notified cases rose from 0 per cent (0 of 11) in 1993 to 50 per cent (5 of 10) in 1995 and 63 per cent (5 of 8) in early 1996.
The increase in the tuberculosis notification rate for people with AIDS is encouraging, but scope for improvement remains.
在20世纪90年代早期，感染艾滋病毒和患艾滋病的人群中的结核病病例报告不足。1993年1月至1996年6月（含）期间，对伦敦两个市中心区地方当局的报告率变化进行了一项研究。
对于这两个地方当局的居民，利用当地数据库确定结核病报告病例，并从艾滋病病例报告中确定记录诊断为结核病的艾滋病病例。
在研究期间，41例记录诊断为结核病的艾滋病病例中，只有13例（32%）也被报告为结核病病例。然而，报告病例的比例从1993年的0%（11例中的0例）上升到1995年的50%（10例中的5例）和1996年初的63%（8例中的5例）。
艾滋病患者结核病报告率的上升令人鼓舞，但仍有改进空间。
