ABSTRACT
A cohort study was carried out from October 2001 to March 2002, in order to analyze the main characteristics of 53 adults patients (38 HIV-positive and 15 HIV-negative), who had a relapse of pulmonary tuberculosis. The observance in the first period of the treatment of tuberculosis was regular in 79% of tuberculous patients infected by the HIV (30/38) and in 87% of tuberculous patients who where HIV-negative (13/15) (p = 0.7). The relapse occurred before one year after recovery in 74% among the HIV-positive (28/38) and in 33% among the HIV-negative patients (5/15) (p = 0.00). Most of the HIV-positive patients (74%) had CD4 counts under 200/mm3 and 80% of the HIV-negative patients had more than 500 CD4 counts/mm3 (p = 0.00). After two months of retreatment following the relapse diagnosis, the rate of improvement in patients was about 16% in HIV infected (6/38) and about 67% in HIV-negative patients (10/15) (p = 0.00).
