Abstract

We conducted a study to evaluate tuberculosis (TB), hepatitis C and hepatitis B co-infections in male patients with HIV in the great prison of Tehran from October 2013 to May 2014. Among 85 HIV positive patients, five persons (5.9%) had TB. Also, 56 new HIV-infected patients were checked for hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis C virus antigen. There were three hepatitis B surface antigen (5.4%) and 50 hepatitis C virus antigen (89.3%) results. This study suggests that it is necessary to investigate TB, hepatitis C and hepatitis B in HIV positive prisoners in Iran. © 2016 Asian Pacific Tropical Medicine Press.
