Materials and methods: The study enrolled 171 patients (85 HIV-infected, 86 HIV/TB co-infected patients). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the TLR4 (rs4986790), TLR2 (rs5743708) and MBL2 (rs5030737, rs1800450, rs1800451) were genotyped by real-time PCR and pyrosequencing. Data about epidemiological risk factors were obtained from epidemiological anamnesis. Immune status was assessed by the level of CD4+ T-cells count. Results: Statistically significant association with active tuberculosis was identified for the genotype AG of TLR4, rs4986790 (OR=5.2; 95% CI: 1,8–14,6, p=0,002). Multivariate analysis shows that close con-tact with TB patientand status of ex-prisoner increased the risk of active tuberculosis 5,2 times (OR=5,2; 95% CI: 1,4–18,5, p=0,012 and OR=5,2; 95% CI: 1,5–17,7, p=0,009, respectively); CD4+ T-cell count more than 200 cells/mm 3 exerted pro-tective effect and reduced the risk of developing TB 5 times (OR=0,2; 95% CI: 0,1–0,5, p=0,001). The genotype AG of TLR4, rs4986790 increased the risk of active tuberculosis 3,7 times (OR=3,7; 95% CI: 1,1–13,1, p=0,046). Conclusion . The G allele of TLR4, rs4986790 can be considered as an independent risk factor for active tuberculosis in HIV-infected individuals. These results need to be confirmed by further investigations on large samples.
