Abstract: The care of TB/HIV co-infected patients have shown sustained improvement in Vietnam. Rising numbers of MDR-TB cases is a concern, but this is not "driven" by HIV co-infection.

“…A good follow-up of the regimen of adequate antituberculous treatment could prevent the oral TB. In this regard, we agree with what was reported by Pavlinac et al, 1 Araj et al, 2 Taute et al, 3 Trinh et al, 4 Nagaraj et al, 5 and Aoun et al 12 However, when the lesion is established, it is necessary to consider the diagnosis of oral TB to determine the appropriate treatment for each patient. In relation to the surgical treatment of granular ulcer secondary oral TB, the bibliographic evidence is scarce.…”

“…We observed a 5% prevalence of TB and HIV co-infection, approximating previous regionally representative estimates ( 14 , 35 ). TB incidence was substantially greater with each percentage increase in HIV prevalence, emphasizing the potential contribution of HIV to the TB epidemic, even in settings with relatively low HIV prevalence.…”

“…The expansive localities belonging to spatial cluster 1 were historically built from irregular settlements with precarious housing conditions, no sewage system, and urban agglomeration, a space characterized by sociospatial inequalities, often neglected by public administrations [25,41]. Such findings are consistent with other studies on spatial analysis of TB-HIV coinfection carried out in the American continent, specifically in Brazil [6,18,19], Africa [13], and Europe [14].…”
