 AB    TB in HIV-infected individuals is a major cause of morbidity and
       mortality in developing countries and poses enormous problems to the
       health services. Despite the availability of curative therapy, the
       incidence of TB in children and adults is increasing at an alarming rate
       and poses a grave threat to TB control programmes in developing
       countries. Prospective studies to define basic clinical, microbiological
       and epidemiological features of the resurgence of childhood TB in the
       light of the HIV epidemic are required.
