Active pulmonary tuberculosis is highly prevalent among the black population but factors predisposing to a defective cellular immune response to the tubercle bacillus are not readily apparent in many. Serological evidence of a recent reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in such a patient could therefore be a relevant finding, since EBV has the potential to suppress cellular immune responses.
