| Popis: | To analyse the clinical manifestations and performance of the diagnosis methods in tuberculosis (TB) diagnosed in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV), according to the location forms of disease (LF).We revised 80 cases of TB diagnosed in patients with infection by HIV. The data were gathered in relation to TB location, the clinical data and the microbiological and histological diagnosed studies. In the statistic analysis the values p0.05 were taken into account.The prevalence of LF was: 1) pulmonary forms (PF) 32 (40%), of which 12 were typical pulmonary (TP) and 20 atypical pulmonary (AP); 2) mixed forms (MF) 21 (26%); 3) extrapulmonary forms (EF) 19 (24%), of which 17 were lymphadenitis; 4) miliary tuberculosis (MT) 8 cases (10%). The prevailing symptoms were: fever (71%) mainly in MF and MT, cough (69%), with less frequency in AP, EF and MT (p0.05) and adenomegalies especially in EF and MF. The diagnosis was based on the study of the sputum smears and lymph node. The bacilloscope of the spontaneous sputum was 53% with a minor performance in the AP (p0.05), while in lymph node the smear for AFB was positive in 78% cases and caseous granulomas were observed in 87%.In our study the major confirmed locations were pulmonary and lymph node, the most important clinical symptoms were fever, cough and adenomegalies. The diagnosis was based, in the most of cases, on the microbiologic and histologic examination of bronchial secretion and lymph node samples. |
