Hiv
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) Even though attempts to generalize the data from childbearing women to women of childbearing age have an inherent conservative bias, the results of our study suggest that 988 women (95% CI 713 to 1336) aged 15 to 44 years in Quebec had HIV infection in 1989.

Tuberculosis
Definition:
(n.) A constitutional disease characterized by the production of tubercles in the internal organs, and especially in the lungs, where it constitutes the most common variety of pulmonary consumption.
Example Sentences:

(2) The course of urogenital tuberculosis is complicated by unspecific bacterial infections of the urinary tract and nephrolithiasis.
(3) We identified four distinct clinical patterns in the 244 patients with true positive MAI infections: (a) pulmonary nodules ("tuberculomas") indistinguishable from pulmonary neoplasms (78 patients); (b) chronic bronchitis or bronchiectasis with sputum repeatedly positive for MAI or granulomas on biopsy (58 patients, virtually all older white women); (c) cavitary lung disease and scattered pulmonary nodules mimicking M. tuberculosis infection (12 patients); (d) diffuse pulmonary infiltrations in immunocompromised hosts, primarily patients with AIDS (96 patients).
(4) The radiologic findings on conventional examinations (plain films and cholangiograms) in a large group of patients with proven hepatobiliary tuberculosis are reviewed.
(5) Other organisms found together with N. miningitidis were H. influenzae (2 cases), S. dysgalactiae (1 case) and M. tuberculosis (1 case).

(8) Two years' experience of a simple serological test for the diagnosis of tuberculosis has been evaluated.
(9) A diagnosis of unilateral tuberculosis of the conjunctiva was established in a 75-year-old female patient eight years after the first manifestations of disease.
(10) Differential diagnosis must include renal tuberculosis and renal carcinoma.
(11) The qualification for carrying on the isonicotinic acid hydrazide monotherapy in the tuberculosis cutis luposa and verrucosa is proved on the basis of bacteriological, pathologo-anatomical and clinical peculiarities of these forms of tuberculosis of the skin.
(12) Approximately 16,000 people were diagnosed with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in 2012 but were not given the treatment they needed to stay alive and prevent the spread of the disease, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has said.
(13) The risk of "Gesunde Befundträger" (healthy carriers of pulmonary lesions) to develop pulmonary tuberculosis is compared with that of persons with X-ray shadows in the lung.
(14) These findings are used to interpret published data from the chronic experimental murine tuberculosis model and support the view that in the mouse, the efficacy of RIF in widely spaced intermittent chemotherapy is the result of its long half-life.
(15) In tuberculosis this effect has been indirectly attributed to the production of cord factor (alpha,alpha-trehalose 6,6'-dimycolate).
