Abstract

To the Editor: In their excellent article on tuberculosis in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (June 6 issue), Barnes et al.¹ mention but do not emphasize a point that adds greatly to the urgency of controlling the spread of tuberculosis to HIV-infected persons: the manner in which HIV infection accelerates the development of tuberculosis when tuberculin-negative HIV-infected persons are infected by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.² That HIV infection can cause a dormant tuberculosis infection to become active is widely known,³ but that it can accelerate the course of a new infection is not. In 1989 Di Perri et al.² reported.
