The molecular epidemiology of tuberculosis and the impact of HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy

2010-01-01

Abstract excerpt

This thesis investigates the epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB) disease in populations. It applies molecular epidemiological methods to elucidate the relative effects of HIV on TB disease following recent first infection, reactivation and recent reinfection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Finally it aims to explore the impact of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) on the incidence of TB in a population in rural Sub...
