Abstract
We present one case of co-infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in a patient with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). It`s a case of a 27-year-old woman admitted at the Clinical Hospital of Infectious Disease and Pneumology ”Dr. Victor Babeș” Timișoara. The patient was known to be HIV-positive since 2019 and developed pulmonary tuberculosis during the therapy. The patient was non-compliant at antiretroviral therapy and developed pulmonary tuberculosis first time in December 2020. One year later, the same patient was admitted in the hospital with pulmonary manifestations and a reactivation of pulmonary tuberculosis was once again confirmed.
