Correct Answer: HIV patients with TB
Description: The most infectious patients have cavitary pulmonary disease or, much less commonly, laryngeal TB and produce sputum containing as many as 105-107 AFB/mL. Persons with both HIV infection and TB are less likely to have cavitations, they may be less infectious than persons without HIV co-infection.
