Host Immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection Is Similar in Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV)-Infected, Antiretroviral Therapy-Treated and SIV-Naïve Juvenile Macaques.

Somewhat surprisingly, the median total thoracic burden of Mtb, comprised of CFU from both lung and thoracic lymph nodes, was slightly lower in SIV-infected, ART-treated macaques compared to macaques infected with Mtb alone although this difference did not reach statistical significance ( P = 0.0961) ( Fig. 5E ).
