    Journal: Int J Tuberc Lung Dis; 2007 Sep; 11(9):1038-41. PubMed ID: 17918662.
    Abstract:
    Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in tuberculosis (TB) patients in The Netherlands during the period 1993-2001 was associated with an increased risk of death (adjusted odds ratio 4.71, P < 0.002). Age and sex-standardised mortality rates among HIV-infected TB patients decreased significantly over time, from 22.9% in 1993-1995 to 11.8% in 1999-2001 (P < 0.001). No such change was observed for HIV-negative patients. The decrease in mortality is likely due to the more widespread use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
