A case of HIV-associated tuberculosis in a preschool child immunized with BCG-M vaccine

A negative trend in recent years is the high proportion of HIV infection in women of childbearing age, which increases the risk of HIV infection in the child. Prevention of tuberculosis, including vaccination, is of great importance. A clinical case of a combined course of tuberculosis and HIV infection in a preschool child immunized against tuberculosis is presented. Immunization against tuberculosis allowed to form antitubercular immunity and promoted favorable course of tuberculosis: absence of disease generalization; calcinates that started to form at the moment of detection; achievement of clinical cure on the background of antitubercular chemotherapy.
