A Registry of Tuberculosis Cases in the CPCRA

Completed

Conditions studied: HIV Infections, Tuberculosis

In brief

PRIMARY: To estimate the proportion of tuberculosis patients in the CPCRA who have drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) and to describe the patterns of drug resistance. SECONDARY: To compare drug resistance data on the Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates of HIV-infected patients to those of HIV-uninfected patients who are being followed in the CPCRA. To assess the relationship of resistance data with geographic, demographic, and HIV and TB risk factor information. Geographic areas and demographic subgroups affected by the TB epidemic appear to be congruent and associated with the concurrent HIV epidemic. The total number of CPCRA patients who will develop, or who have experienced, confirmed TB is unknown. It is critical to determine the depth and breadth of the current problem of drug-resistant TB.
