    Abstract:
    We present the immunoglobulin spectrum in a series of 156 HIV-infected patients who were affected of tuberculosis (TB) of different localization. Sixty-seven patients had lung TB, in 13 cases lung TB and an opportunistic infection were diagnosed simultaneously and in 76 cases TB was localized outside the lung. The cases were compared to 62 HIV-infected patients classified in stage 11 (CDC 1986) and to 85 cases of HIV-infected patients who suffered carinii pneumonia (PCP). The most outstanding differences were established between IgA of patients with lung TB and group PCP (p less than 0.001). IgG showed significant differences between lung TB patients and the PCP group (p less than 0.001).
