The high indexes or early mortality documented in persons with both maladies states the necessity of fast diagnostic tests and opportune treatment because of the atypicity of their presentation, the presence of the immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome at the beginning of the antirretroviral therapy, and the development of different resistance levels to antituberculosis drugs.
