Abstract:
Currently, one of the pressing problems of phthisiology remains the high incidence of tuberculosis
among patients with HIV infection. The high frequency of multiple drug resistance of tuberculosis mycobacteria
(resistance to the most effective anti-tuberculosis drugs isoniazid and rifampicin) clearly and directly correlates with
the prevalence of HIV infection. The most common causative agents of mycoses are yeast-like fungi of the genus
Candida and mycelial, mold fungi of the genera Aspergillus, Penicillium, Mucor, and some others. The fight against it
is significantly complicated by the fact that there is a mutually aggravating synergy between tuberculosis and HIV:
HIV infection contributes to the progression of tuberculosis infection, and tuberculosis worsens the course of HIV
infection. Mycocenoses - associations of pathogens - are of great importance. The more pronounced the
immunodeficiency, the more pronounced the manifestations of candidiasis.
