Symptoms
- In early-stage HIV infection (CD4 count >300 cells per µL), TB typically presents as a pulmonary disease.
- In advanced HIV infection, TB often presents atypically with extra-pulmonary (systemic) disease a common feature.
- Symptoms are usually constitutional and are not localized to one particular site, often affecting bone marrow, bone, urinary and gastrointestinal tracts, liver, regional lymph nodes, and the central nervous system.[1]
