Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
TB is the leading killer of people with HIV, and up to 80 of TB clients are HIV positive in countries with a high prevalence of HIV. AIDS, malaria, and hepatitis are not the leading killer of people with HIV.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The rise in HIV has led to an increase in TB because the disease depresses the immune system. Chemotherapy is not always effective, especially in the new drug-resistant strains. Meningitis is not a leading cause of death from TB. TB is becoming more difficult to treat because of the new drug-resistant strains, but the TB bacillus is not difficult to isolate.
