Clinical evaluation of the risk factors for pulmonary tuberculosis and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

To investigate the risk factors for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) complicated by Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) in order to provide a reference for better treatment and prevention. A retrospective analysis of 939 AIDS patients admitted to our hospital between January 2016 and January 2021 was divided into two groups: AIDS combined PTB (group A, 68 cases) and AIDS (group B, 871 cases). The two groups' clinical and laboratory data were analysed and compared. Gender, residence, occupation, annual income, educational level, marital status, drinking history, diabetes history, BCG vaccination history, homosexuality, and whether the two groups had multiple sexual partners did not differ significantly over time.
