However, the magnitudes of the factors associated to this co-infection differ considerably in relation to the population groups and geographical areas. METHODS: In order to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors for the co-infection of tuberculosis (TB) in a population with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV+) in the Southeast of Mexico, we made the analysis of clinical and epidemiological variables and the diagnosis of tuberculosis by isolation of mycobacteria from respiratory samples. RESULTS: From the 147 HIV+ individuals analyzed, 12 were culture positive; this shows a prevalence of 8% for the co-infection. The only variable found with statistical significance for the co-infection was the number of CD4-T &lt; 200 cells\/mm\u00b3, OR 13 (95%, CI 2-106 vs 12-109). CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge this is the first report describing the factors associated with tuberculosis co -infection with HIV in a population from Southern Mexico. The low number of CD4 T-cells was the only variable associated with the TB co-infection and the rest of the variables provide scenarios that require specific and particular interventions for this population group.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0037-86822011005000034","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,7,14]],"date-time":"2011-07-14T13:01:46Z","timestamp":1310648506000},"page":"282-285","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Co-infection and risk factors of tuberculosis in a Mexican HIV+ population"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Roberto","family":"Zenteno-Cuevas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Veracruzana,  M\u00e9xico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Evangelina","family":"Montes-Villase\u00f1or","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Veracruzana,  M\u00e9xico; Hospital Civil L.
