Kaufmann, Stefan H. E.
AIDS and Tuberculosis: A Deadly Liaison
Within the last decades co-infections with the HIV virus as well as Tuberculosis bacteria have emerged and turned into a threatening infectious disease, causing millions of deaths worldwide every year. While Tuberculosis can be cured and AIDS can be treated, there are no vaccines available for either of those diseases. The coexistence of both diseases in a single patient complicates research for new preventive, diagnostic as well as therapeutic approaches.
Providing state-of-the-art information about prevention, therapy and diagnosis of tuberculosis and AIDS, the book puts a major emphasis on the increasing coexistence of both diseases in single individuals.
