| Abstract |
Despite the decrease in morbidity due to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in Romania, it remains a significant risk factor for tuberculosis. Analyzing the characteristics of tuberculosis-HIV co-infection in Maros county, Romania, during 2014-2020. Retrospective data processing of the study group and comparing with internationally reported data (similar group, same geographic region, during 2004-2013). The study includes 40 patients with tuberculosis-HIV co-infection: 24 men, 16 women, 22 from rural areas, 22 smokers, 20 alcohol and 4 drug users. Most of them had poor living conditions. 30 patients were in the 26-40-year-old age group, significantly influencing their personal development. 25 patients were diagnosed with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). We identified 28 pulmonary tuberculosis cases, 1 extrapulmonary tuberculosis, and 11 mixed forms. In 13 cases, the pathogen was not identified; the diagnosis was based on probability criteria (epidemiology, clinical, and imaging methods). The number of hepatitis, parasitological, and other opportunistic infections decreased significantly, but the frequency of anemia, neurological and respiratory diseases increased. The incidence of drug-resistant forms and the death rate also decreased significantly. Due to the poor living conditions, these patients are not adherent to examinations and treatment. Tuberculosis-HIV co-infection is more likely to cause complications, drug resistance, and high mortality rate. For early diagnosis, screening all patients with tuberculosis for HIV infection and all HIV-infected patients for tuberculosis is crucial. Prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of both diseases must be increased by intensifying the fight against poverty and promoting better education. Orv Hetil. 2023; 164(1): 19-28. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 January 2023.
All research outputs
#16,309,681
of 24,037,100 outputs
Outputs from Orvosi Hetilap
#309
of 813 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#246,091
of 439,270 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Orvosi Hetilap
#4
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,037,100 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 813 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 439,270 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 6 of them.
