    Abstract

    To determine the prevalence of tuberculosis and describe its epidemiological, clinical,


    paraclinical, and therapeutic characteristics and its outcome in patients with HIV. This
    retrospective, descriptive, and analytical study examined the records of patients with HIV at
    our outpatient treatment center and selected those who were antiretroviral-naive and
    presented tuberculosis between January 2008 and December 2012. Among a total of 757
    HIV-positive patients, 76 had tuberculosis, for a prevalence of 10 %. The sex ratio of
    1.23 favored men. The average age was 42.5 years (range: 25 to 69 years. Nearly all these
    patients (71 cases) had HIV-1. A history of tuberculosis was reported by 39.5 %. Seventeen
    patients were malnourished. Management included chemoprophylaxis with cotrimoxazole for
    64 patients. The pulmonary form predominated (72.4 %). Among these forms, there were
    34 cases of negative microscopy tuberculosis and 21 cases of positive microscopy
    tuberculosis. The extrapulmonary forms (21 cases) were dominated by tuberculosis in the
    lymph nodes (11 cases), the pleura (7), pericardium (2), and peritoneum (1). Anemia was
    found in 44 patients. Severe immunosuppression was noted in 90 %, with CD4+ cell counts
    <350/mm3. Lethality was 7.9 %. TB/HIV coinfection is a major public health problem in
    Africa. Better coordination of activities in support of programs for tuberculosis and
    HIV/AIDS are needed.
