Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The purpose of these Studies have been published in the area of tuberculosis but much is not known in the area of interaction between HIV and tuberculosis, etiology, immunological mechanism involved, risk factors, diagnostic features, diagnostic tools, immunogenetics and complications involved. The recent results of Tuberculosis have been reported in people living with HIV indifferent parts of the world. Cases are unrecognized due inaccurate diagnosis and hence are treated as other diseases. However the most recent studies have shown that tuberculosis and HIV coexist together especially extrapulmonary tuberculosis and that there are other highly sensitive and quick to yield results. In conclusion The Tuberculosis in HIV is as a result of complex interactions between the host-pathogen and the immune mechanisms involved in the protection. Overall, this review has expanded our understanding of the mechanism involved in the pathogenesis and the relationship between tuberculosis and kidney disease. It has opened new line of investigations that will ultimately result in a better clinical practice. Keywords: HIV, extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
