Concomitant patterns of tuberculosis and sarcoidosis.

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. Tuberculosis, MTB) and despite ongoing global efforts for its eradication there were still an estimated 8.7 million new cases and 1.4 million deaths worldwide in 2011 (1). Co-infection with HIV caused 13% new actively infected people resulting in a high mortality rate (48.6%) among these patients (2). TB is therefore considered as one of the leading causes of death due to infectious diseases worldwide despite the availability of effective and extensive therapeutic approaches (3, 4).
