Multidrug- and extensively drug-resistant TB in persons living with HIV
Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine, 06/18/09

Matteelli A et al. - There is speculative evidence that effective strategies for early HIV diagnosis and treatment will play a role in limiting the spread, and possibly improving the outcome of XDR-TB. Prevention is currently the mainstay of XDR-TB control in HIV communities. Strategies for infection control based on administrative procedures, environmental control and respiratory protection should be a priority for countries where both XDR-TB and HIV are prevalent. However, only the comprehensive implementation of the full Stop TB Strategy may be expected to curb the devastating impact of XDR-TB on HIV-infected persons.
