“…Of the 8.8 million incident TB cases in 2010, 1.1 million (13 %) were among people living with HIV [1]. Thus, the emergence of HIV has not only increased TB incidence and TB associated mortality but it also has made the diagnostics of TB more difficult [21]. TB/HIV coinfection affects mainly young adults in the most productive years of life, having a significant social and economical impact.…”

According to WHO estimates, in 2010 there were 8.8 million new cases of tuberculosis (TB) and 1.5 million deaths. TB has been classically associated with poverty, overcrowding and malnutrition. Low income countries and deprived areas, within big cities in developed countries, present the highest TB incidences and TB mortality rates. These are the settings where immigration, important social inequalities, HIV infection and drug or alcohol abuse may coexist, all factors strongly associated with TB. In spite of the political, economical, research and community efforts, TB remains a major global health problem worldwide. Moreover, in this new century, new challenges such as multidrug-resistance extension, migration to big cities and the new treatments with anti-tumour necrosis alpha factor for inflammatory diseases have emerged and threaten the decreasing trend in the global number of TB cases in the last years. We must also be aware about the impact that smoking and diabetes pandemics may be having on the incidence of TB. The existence of a good TB Prevention and Control Program is essential to fight against TB. The coordination among clinicians, microbiologists, epidemiologists and others, and the link between surveillance, control and research should always be a priority for a TB Program. Each city and country should define their needs according to the epidemiological situation. Local TB control programs will have to adapt to any new challenge that arises in order to respond to the needs of their population.

“…Esto implica un exceso de morbimortalidad para el individuo y un riesgo elevado de transmisión mantenida para la sociedad. En función de la gravedad del cuadro que presente el paciente o del destino del mismo, el médico de urgencias puede recomendar la realización de la prueba en su centro de atención primaria para los pacientes que no requieran ingreso, la realización de forma diferida durante el ingreso hospitalario o la realización de un test rápido para los pacientes cuyo cuadro clínico requiera del conocimiento de la situación serológica respecto al VIH de forma no diferible 30 .…”

A review is made of the late diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, a subject of growing interest in public health. It has been estimated that in Europe 30% of all HIV-infected people are unaware of their seropositive condition, and this in turn is associated with a poorer long-term disease prognosis and an increased risk of transmission to other individuals. The role of the dental surgeon in this context could be of great importance, since there are many oral lesions that can suggest the existence of underlying infection. The study also addresses the controversial subject of rapid HIV testing, and whether these tests should be performed on a routine basis in the dental clinic, or whether it is preferable to refer the patient to a specialized center. Key words:HIV in Spain, HIV screening, early diagnosis.
