View source for Talk:Tuberculosis and HIV Co-Infection

You did a great job explaining the link between Tuberculosis and HIV Co-Infection.  The explanation of the immune system's response to Tuberculosis was very detailed and explained in a clear manor.  Also, the inclusion of image 3 was very helpful in understanding how macrophages response to Tuberculosis cells.  The risks associated with co-infection were also clearly explained however it would be helpful to have some more background information on HIV and the structure of HIV cells.  I also enjoyed the focus on co-infection in South Africa specifically because it put the topic into a real life context.  Finally, be sure to hyperlink your references and take out the template text at the end of your page.  Great job! -Melissa Mooradian


Chelly, 

You did a very nice job with your wiki page. I learned quite a bit about death by TB when infected with HIV. I was unaware that TB was such a killer. I knew that HIV lowered immune system viability but was unaware that TB was such a major cause of death. There are some grammatical mistakes, and I think I would like to know a bit more about the microbial causes of TB. Is there also a link between old age and TB? Does it operate in the same way as co-infection with HIV? These are interesting things that maybe you can talk about. Overall fantastic job, really enjoyed the read. - Andrew Parmelee
