Abstract:
The immune system is the body\'s defense system against infection, pathogenic organisms, or foreign bodies. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection significantly reduces the number of cells involved in the immune system making the infected person prone to a greater number of infections like tuberculosis (TB). HIV infection reduces the CD4 T helper cell count and further replicates within the body. HIV-TB is a major health concern as there is more chance of progression to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and the emergence of drug-resistant TB. In this case report, we see how the HIV-TB infection affects the body, significantly affecting the morbidity and mortality of the patient.
摘要:
免疫系统是机体抵御感染的防御系统,病原生物,或异物。人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染显着减少涉及免疫系统的细胞数量,使感染者容易感染更多的结核病(TB)。HIV感染会降低CD4T辅助细胞计数,并在体内进一步复制。HIV-TB是一个主要的健康问题,因为有更多的机会发展为获得性免疫缺陷综合症(AIDS)和耐药性TB的出现。在这个案例报告中,我们看到HIV-TB感染如何影响身体,显着影响患者的发病率和死亡率。
