The clinic impact of tuberculosis on the course of HIV-infected patients with a CD_4~+ lymphocyte count

Objective: To analyze the correlation between the influence of tuberculosis accompanying with AIDS and CD+ 4. Methods: We analyzed the CD+ 4 lymphocyte counts of tuberculosis in 61 patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in an area where had an attack of high AIDS infection. Results: 8.20% AIDS patients occurred tuberculosis when CD+ 4 counts were 300-400/mm3, and were mainly outside lung. When CD+ 4 counts were 200-300/mm3, 14.75% AIDS patients occurred tuberculosis. Hematogenous disseminated tuberculosis was occurred accompanying cerebral tuberculosis when CD+ 4 counts were 100-200/mm3, 22.95% patients occurred tuberculosis. The percentage of two diseases raised greatly in patients with CD+ 4 counts100/mm3, all kinds of tuberculosis can occur in patients with CD+ 4 counts50/mm3. Conclusions: with the decreasing CD+ 4 counts, the tuberculosis increased. When the CD+ 4 counts were 200/mm3, the tuberculosis increased remarkably. When the CD+ 4 counts were 50/mm3, hematogenous disseminated with cerebral tuberculosis were the most familiar to opportunistic infections.
