Although TB incidence had been decreasing steadily in the years before
the advent of the HIV epidemic, there has since been a dramatic
reversal of this trend. The number of cases reported in 1996
represented a 19% decrease in the number of cases reported in 1994;
this decrease was believed to be related to the substantial efforts of
State and Federal Governments. Of even greater concern, is the
emergence of drug-resistant TB strains, for which the mortality rate in
AIDS patients is 100 percent. This recurrence of TB poses a threat not
only to the HIV-infected but also to those free of HIV, including
health care workers caring for AIDS patients and the families of people
with AIDS.
