ABSTRACT
Well documented 112 pulmonary tuberculosis patients were studied for the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositivity by using two antibody screening tests along with western blot test. Nineteen of the pulmonary tuberculosis patients were HIV seropositive, 12 were acid-fast bacillus smear positive; 12 patients were tuberculin skin test positive and 15 patients were culture positive. As the incidence of HIV infection is increasing in India, it is observed that patients co-infected with HIV and TB are also on the rise. Recognition of the dual infection and taking adequate steps to deal with this epidemic are needed.
