| Summary: | The paper describes a case of generalized tuberculosis in a HIV-infected child. The specific feature of the case is the late detection of both tuberculosis and HIV infection. Tuberculosis was diagnosed on the basis of the data of multislice spiral computed tomography and bacteriological examination of bronchial washes. The case demonstrates the development of severe generalized tuberculosis in the child with untimely detected HIV infection, as well as pediatricians’ low alertness to HIV infection in children and inadequate HIV detection works among pregnant women. |
