Resumo
In this paper we review the evidences for the interactions between HIV
infection and Leprosy in a framework of control programs and research
development in the last two decades. We outlined the several hypothesis and
questions raised by the possible effects of the co-infection of HIV/AIDS and
Mycobacterium leprae infection in altering the course of each disease and in
the development of more severe cases. Issues related to adverse interaction of
the standardized drug therapy when applied simultaneously for both
disease/infection and the implications in BCG vaccination in developing
countries were also discussed. The interaction between AIDS and
Tuberculosis was used as example of well-known scientific biological
interacíion between HIV infection and infectious disease and to draw some
parallel with other Mycobacterias. The comprehension of the interactions
between HIV infection and Mycobacterium leprae remains of primary
importance in order to implement scientifically based prevention and
treatment in public health programs.
