Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) are the two leading causes of infectious disease-related death today. An estimated 2.6 million people die as a result of infection with one or both of these pathogens annually, while a range of morbidities afflict tens of millions more. The resurgence of TB in the years following the start of the HIV/AIDS pandemic revealed a close relationship of these two infectious diseases. TB and HIV are now viewed as a syndemic that impedes efforts to reduce incidence of infection, complicates treatment, and promotes development of drug resistance. This chapter summarizes the complex factors whereby TB and HIV converge to drive a global health emergency and discusses ongoing research and clinical efforts to reduce dual disease.
