We aim to describe the changing epidemiology and clinical presentation of TB-HIV co-infection in a cohort of HIV-infected children in Spain. [Methods] Children diagnosed with TB between 1995 and 2016 in the paediatric HIV cohort were identified. The incidence and clinical presentation were compared in three periods: 1995–1999 (P1, before initiation of combined antiretroviral therapy, cART), 2000–2009 (P2, increase in immigration), and 2010–2016 (P3, decrease in immigration). [Results] We included 29 TB cases among 1183 children aged <18 years (2.4%, 243/100 000 person-years). The proportion was stable in P1 and P2 (1.3%), but decreased in P3 (0.8%). The median age at TB diagnosis was 6.4 years (IQR 4–10.6); most children in P3 were aged >10 years (20% vs. 23.1% vs. 83.3%, P = 0.01). TB was diagnosed at HIV presentation in 11/29 children (37.9%). Foreign-born children accounted for respectively 0%, 8% and 67% of the total number of children in each period (P ≤ 0.0001). One third had extrapulmonary TB; four children died (13.8%). [Conclusion] In our cohort, the incidence of TB-HIV co-infection decreased with decline in immigration. In regions with adequate cART coverage and low TB transmission, paediatric TB-HIV coinfection is uncommon, but associated with significant morbidity. Strategies for TB surveillance, diagnosis and treatment in this vulnerable population should be reinforced. |
