Kobeleva G.V., Primkulova M.V. Medical and social characteristics of tuberculosis patients who died in in-patient units in 2017-2018 (based on data from Kemerovo Region). Больных ВИЧ-инфекцией, среди впервые выявленных больных туберкулезом увеличилась с 2010 по 2018 г. Общее число впервые выявленных больных с ВИЧ-инфекцией несколько сократилось в области: с 5 571 в 2017 г. Это объясняется увеличением числа больных ВИЧ-инфекцией с выраженным иммунодефицитом, на фоне которого и развивается туберкулез [4]. Туберкулез при ВИЧ-инфекции характеризуется атипичными клинико-рентгенологическими и морфологическим проявлениями [2, 6]
