Desak Putu Pratiwi, Anak Agung Gde Upeksha


Abstract: Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are a lethal combination, these two diseases accelerate disease progression one another. These infections affect each other in all aspects of the disease, from pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, treatment and prevention. This article aims to report a case of TB and HIV co-infection and its management. Case illustration: A twenty-eight-year-old male came with chief complaint shortness of breath. The patient also had a history of fever, cough, night sweats, weight loss, and malaise for one month. Laboratory examinations revealed leukocytosis, reactive anti-HIV immunoserology, gene Xpert MTB/RIF assay detected Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the specimen and showed no rifampicin (RIF) resistance. The chest x-ray obtained was active lung TB with secondary infection. The patient was diagnosed with active pulmonary TB and HIV. This patient was treated with Anti-tuberculosis drug 1st category. Discussion: Most common manifestation of TB-HIV co-infections are fever, weight loss, and cough Physical examination sometimes do not show signs that are specific to TB patients.
