Abstract:
Along with the rapid spread of HIV / AIDS and TB prevalence, prevention and control of AIDS and tuberculosis has become an urgent problem in the field of public health. Recent studies demonstrate dual infections of HIV and TB are not a simple superposition of two diseases, but a course of mutual promotion. This article has summarized the pathological mechanisms and mutual interactions of HIV/TB dual infections.
