EFFICIENCY OF TREATMENT OF THE FIRST DETECTED TUBERCULOSIS DEPENDING ON THE HIV STATUS IN THE TUBERCULOSIS INSTITUTION OF THE FEDERAL PENITENTIARY SERVICE

Aim . Identification of the effectiveness of treatment of newly diagnosed tuberculosis depending on HIV status in the tuberculosis institution of the Federal Penitentiary Service. Materials and methods : 468 patients with tuberculosis, with HIV infection — 262, without HIV infection — 206 prisoners. Age: from 18 to 62 years. Results . With treatment in 50% of newly diagnosed patients with tubercu- losis, regardless of HIV status in the tuberculosis institution of the Federal Service for the Execution of Punishments, the termination of the bacteria by microscopy and sowing occurs simultaneously for 3 months. The closure of the cavity (s) of disintegration is achieved one month earlier in patients with HIV infection and is 4 months (statistically insignificant). Thus, in newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients in a tuberculosis institution of the Federal Penitentiary Service, the effectiveness of treatment does not depend on HIV status.
