Abstract

In order to assess the dynamics of the course of tuberculosis in patients in the late stages HIV infection studied clinical, radiological and laboratory data of 36 patients, taking into account the presence or absence of COVID-19, divided into 2 groups. Tuberculosis in patients with HIV infection, in most cases is generalized character; patients are bacterial excretors with multidrug resistant pathogen. COVID-19 more than half of the patients (55.6%) proceed against the background of intoxication without pathognomonic symptoms; pronounced intoxication syndrome largely due to the severity of the tuberculosis process. Negative dynamics tuberculosis is 2.5 times more likely to occur against the background of COVID-19.
