Most sections have been amended and tables updated and added. Areas where there is a need for clinical trials or data have been highlighted. The major changes/amendments are: a more detailed discussion of gamma-interferon tests; new guidance on chemopreventative therapy; a complete update of the drug interactions section and tables; an updated section on choice of nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI); a revised section on when to start highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART); a new section on isoniazid resistance and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB); guidance on the diagnosis of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS); new tables for management of adverse reactions. These guidelines have been drawn up to help physicians manage adults with tuberculosis (TB)/HIV coinfection. Recommendations for the treatment of TB in HIV-infected adults are similar to those in HIV-negative adults. However, there are important exceptions which are discussed in this summary.
