ABSTRACT

La reemergencia de la tuberculosis (TBC) a nivel mundial se vincula a diferentes factores, como la infección por VIH y la inmunosupresión a la cual ésta conduce. Este comportamiento epidemiológico también se aprecia en la población infantil. Describimos la evolución clínica, inmunológica y tratamiento recibido por seis niños con infección VIH de transmisión vertical, controlados por el Comité Nacional de SIDA pediátrico, que presentaron tuberculosis. Se efectúa, además, una revisión de la literatura médica.
