Description
Guillermo Eduardo Cuéllar-Nevárez and five colleagues review how to diagnose tuberculosis in people living with HIV in a 2026 article. The pairing is deadly because weakened immunity makes TB hide: fewer bacilli, odd symptoms, disease outside the lungs. Standard tools, sputum smears, cultures, and chest X-rays, miss many such cases. The authors walk through each option's accuracy, practicality, and barriers to real-world use.
Rapid molecular tests now catch the germ and drug resistance early, though sputum-free and body-wide disease still slip through. A urine test helps the severely ill, and a newer version promises more. Blood signatures and computer-read chest images may sharpen screening and triage. Cuéllar-Nevárez's team argues no single test suffices. They propose combined algorithms matched to local resources, stitching microbe tests, urine tests, imaging, and host-response tools into one pathway.
