PPD skin reactivity and anergy in HIV-infected patients in Hawaii.

Abstract

This study was a prospective screening study for PPD and anergy skin test reactivity in 304 HIV-positive individuals. A PPD positivity rate of 4.1% and an anergy rate of 50.5% were observed. The Hawaii HIV population has a relatively low prevalence of latent TB compared with the high prevalence of TB in the Hawaii population at large.RR 03061/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/United State
