This research evaluates the effect of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence on the tuberculosis (TB) epidemiology in a megalopolis. A comparative analysis for TB patients, co-infected and not co-infected with HIV has been done using registry data of the TB monitoring system for Moscow for 2014-2015. It has been shown that permanent city residents aged from 31 to 40, unemployed and injection drug users are more common among TB patients co-infected with HIV vs. the rest of TB patients. Numbers of those infected with TB and dying of HIV amount to a third of total fatal cases associated with TB, as compared to those dying of TB. Thus, a significant contribution of HIV disease to key figures and dynamics must be recognized, when assessing the TB epidemiology. https://biomedpharmajournal.org/vol10no3/hiv-prevalence-among-tb-patients-in-moscow/ Tuberculosis HIV Disease Co-infection Tuberculosis (TB) Tuberculosis (TB) and HIV Co-infection Tuberculosis (TB) Epidemiology
