 AB    A case control study was undertaken in Western Kenya from April 1989 to
       August 1990 to evaluate HIV-1 infection as a risk factor for
       tuberculosis and leprosy. The study involved 144 newly diagnosed sputum
       smear positive tuberculosis cases with 432 age, sex and
       neighbourhood-matched controls, and 132 diagnosed leprosy cases with 384
       matched controls. Odds ratios obtained by conditional logistic
       regression (matched) analysis were 4.9 (95% CI 2.6, 6.8), and 1.8 (95%
       CI 0.9, 3.2), for the association between HIV-1 and tuberculosis and
       leprosy respectively. Approximately 31% of tuberculosis cases among
       males, and 11% of cases among females, were attributable to HIV
       infection.
