This represents a contingent greater than 85% of all patients receiving ART, as well as concentrating data on incidence levels of AIDS, mortality rates and late diagnosis 2,5 . Studies on the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the region have indicated over time that the trend in the number of cases continues to increase principally in men, that tuberculosis (TB) is still the leading cause of death, and that respiratory failure is the main cause of hospital admission for these patients [5][6][7][8] .…”
