 AB    Tuberculosis, once on the steady decline in the western world, has
       resurfaced with renewed vigor in the wake of the human immunodeficiency
       virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic. People
       with HIV infection are both more likely to contract primary tuberculosis
       and at greater risk for reactivation of latent tuberculosis. Tuberculous
       disease may present with atypical signs and symptoms in HIV-infected
       hosts because of alterations in the immune system. Superimposed on the
       virulent interaction of HIV and tuberculosis is the emerging problem of
       multidrug resistant strains that often resist currently available
       therapies. HIV-positive health professionals working in high-risk
       environments pose a special problem, while populations unable to comply
       with currently available pharmacological therapies pose another. We have
       many tools available to combat the resurgence of tuberculosis, but new
       methods of diagnosis and new approaches to treatment are sorely needed.
