据科学与发展网络报道:世界卫生组织3月24日发表的一份报告凸显了艾滋病在招致结核病感染方面扮演的强大角色。
根据2009全球结核病控制报告,大约1/4的结核病死亡者发生在艾滋病患者身上——这是此前记录的2倍。新的数据显示,全世界大约15%的结核病感染者也感染了艾滋病病毒,而撒哈拉以南非洲占了这类病例的将近80%。 但是该报告说这并不意味着2006-2007年也感染了艾滋病的结核病患者数量加倍。相反,由于更多的国家正在对结核病患者的艾滋病感染率进行直接测量,数据采集工作已经得到了改善。 世界卫生组织的报告说,结核病的整体感染率保持大致稳定,2007年略低于930万新发病例,而结核病患者的比例持续下降。联合感染和耐药结核病的增长是控制结核病的最大挑战。 该报告还说,人们担心全球金融危机将让结核病防控的资金不足更加恶化。 WHO report: HIV and tuberculosis concurrent think more deadly than previous
At 9:58 on April 1, 2009 Source: Web of Science Suffering from AIDS and tuberculosis in Guinea men: Sub-Saharan Africa such cases accounted for nearly 80% (picture from Jad Davenport, World Lung Foundation) According to Science and Development Network reports: March 24 World Health Organization published a report highlighting the lead to tuberculosis infection in AIDS has played a powerful role. According to the Global TB Control 2009 report, about 1 / 4 of TB deaths occur in AIDS patients - This is 2 times the previous record. The new data show that around 15% of all over the world infected with TB are also infected with the AIDS virus, and Sub-Saharan Africa such cases accounted for nearly 80%. However, the report said that this does not mean that the 2006-2007 is also infected with the AIDS doubling the number of TB patients. In contrast, because more countries are on AIDS infection rates in patients with tuberculosis direct measurement, data collection has been improved. World Health Organization reported that the overall infection rate of tuberculosis remain broadly stable in 2007, slightly lower than the 9.3 million new cases, while the proportion of TB patients has continued to drop. XDR-TB co-infection and growth are the biggest challenge to tuberculosis control. The report also said that fears that the global financial crisis will allow the prevention and control of tuberculosis aggravated by lack of funds. |
