Abstract:

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) co-infection has always been a global public health concern, as well as a key point and challenge in clinical diagnosis and treatment. The importance of subclinical tuberculosis (STB) in the disease spectrum has been gradually realized as we improve the awareness of tuberculosis. The authors discussed in detail the prevalence, clinical characteristics, screening and diagnosis, treatment and prevention of STB in HIV-Infected patients and AIDS patients, aiming to draw concern from public health and clinical practitioners, encourage further in-depth researches and more attention on STB in HIV/AIDS population,so as to provide scientific basis for developing strategies to reduce the comorbidity of HIV/AIDS and STB.

Key words: Tuberculosis, HIV infections, Acquired immune deficiency syndrom, Comorbidity
