“…It is of interest that all HIVpositive patients (11%) were from Latin America, although the rate of coinfection is similar to that described by González-Moreno et al, 3 and is slightly higher than the figures reported by the European TB surveillance report. 4 The proportion of cases of extrapulmonary disease is high in both groups, and almost half the Asian patients had this form (similar to rates in the HIV population 1 ).…”

“…In our study, no association with HIV infection was identified. A negative association between being HIV-positive and DM prevalence among TB patients was reported by other studies also conducted in Europe—Italy [25], Spain [15, 17], and Portugal [23]. It has been suggested that the very strong association between HIV and TB may obscure the role of DM [6, 37]; however, a recent study concluded that DM may further increase the risk of developing TB among persons living with HIV [38].…”

“…People migrating from low- and middle-income countries may have a higher prevalence of DM compared with the native population, and also somehow higher than in persons from the same population who remain in their country of origin [32]. Nevertheless, opposite results (ie, lower risk of DM in foreign-born TB patients compared with authoctonous individuals or lower risk of TB in foreign-born DM patients compared with authoctonous) have been reported by previous studies conducted in Italy [24], Spain [15, 17], Portugal [23], and Japan [33].…”

“…Llama la atención que la totalidad de los casos con seropositividad para el VIH (11%) son procedentes de LA, si bien la proporción de co-infección es similar a la descrita por González-Moreno et al 3 , siendo algo mayor que la observada en la red de vigilancia de TB europea 4 . En ambos grupos existe una elevada proporción de localización extrapulmonar, alcanzando casi la mitad de los pacientes en los inmigrantes procedentes de A (similar a la descrita en población VIH 1 ).…”
