Abstract:
Abstract: Objective To analyze the surveillance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis/HIV (TB/HIV) co-infection in Liaoning Province from 2016 to 2021, providing a scientific basis for formulating future prevention and control measures applicable to the province-wide co-infection. Methods A descriptive analysis was conducted on patient registration, two-way screening, and treatment information from the annual report of patients with TB/HIV co-infection in Liaoning Province from 2016 to 2021. Results From 2016 to 2021, 222 cases of TB/HIV co-infection were registered in Liaoning Province, accounting for 0.16% (222/136 709) of TB patients and 1.42% (222/15 584) of HIV/AIDS patients. In HIV/AIDS, the symptom screening rate was 96.01%, showing a downward trend (χ2trend=982.28, P<0.05). The TB detection rate was 0.47%, also showing a downward trend (χ2trend=36.56, P<0.05), while the chest radiograph or sputum detection rate was 94.61%, showing an overall upward trend (χ2trend=96.5, P<0.05). Among TB patients, 65 188 were tested for HIV antibodies, with a detection rate of 47.68%, which showed an overall upward trend (χ2trend=3 326.38, P<0.05). There were 39 HIV-positive cases detected, with the positive detection rate in TB patients decreasing from 0.12% to 0.07%. From 2016 to 2021, the majority of co-infected patients were male and ≥15 years old, with 496 cases (92.36%) of males and 41 cases (7.64%) of females. Among the 537 patients with co-infection, 47 cases (8.75%) received anti-tuberculosis therapy alone, 72 cases (13.41%) received anti-HIV therapy alone, and 408 cases (75.98%) received combined therapy, with an overall downward trend (χ2trend=9.54, P<0.05). Conclusions Focus should be placed on the male population and those aged ≥15 years, with future efforts aimed at enhancing two-way screening work among TB and HIV/AIDS patients and improving the rate of combined treatment.
