Tuberculosis co-morbidity and perceptions about health care among HIV-infected plasma donors in rural China.
2009
Limited community-based data exist about pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) co- morbidity among HIV-infected individuals in China and no data exists about the TB burden in key high risk groups. We recruited 195 known HIV-infected plasma donors in one central China county and identified 9 (4.6%) active TB cases based on clinical assessment, including chest radiography. The low percentage of TB may be explained by improved immunity due to antiretroviral therapy.
