Abstract
Сombination of tuberculosis and viral hepatitis have been registered 2525 newly identified patients in Saint-Petersburg for the period 2006–2017. Some of these patients have been infected with HIV. Fatal outcome in 625 (24,7%) was noted. Patients with tuberculosis and chronic viral hepatitis have had a combination of viral hepatitis B and C in 36% of cases. Patients with combination tuberculosis and chronic hepatitis of unknown etiology experienced a more frequent death (60%) than patients with combination tuberculosis and other chronic viral hepatitis. In patients with concurrent tuberculosis, chronic viral hepatitis and HIV infection, patients infected viral hepatitis B and C were 31,6%. In 160 patients with fatal outcomes had a combination of infections (tuberculosis, viral hepatitis and HIV infection), the mortality rate of persons with hepatitis of unknown etiology was the lowest (42%), compared with a group of individuals affected by viral hepatitis B and C simultaneously (83%). Among patients with tuberculosis, chronic hepatitis and HIV infection, the highest incidence of tuberculosis of the intrathoracic lymph nodes and disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis was registered. Lethal outcomes most often occur in individuals with advanced tuberculosis, in whom the secretion of mycobacteria tuberculosis into the external environment has not been established. Given the high level of mortality in patients with simultaneous defeat of tuberculosis, viral hepatitis and HIV infection, it is necessary to establish their centralized registration in order to study the epidemiological patterns and clinical features of co-infections.
