When people become infected with HIV — which lowers their immunity — they are 30 times more likely to develop TB. No wonder that the current worldwide HIV epidemic has caused an increase in the number of TB patients as well!
Ja cilvēks ir inficēts ar CIV, kas samazina viņa imunitāti, risks saslimt ar TB palielinās 30 reizes, tāpēc ir gluži likumsakarīgi, ka pašreizējā pasaules mēroga AIDS epidēmija ir palielinājusi arī saslimstību ar TB.
