Tuberculosis is said to be one of the commonest opportunistic infection in patients with HIV/ AIDS. A study was carried out to study the clinical, bacteriological and radiological features of HIV/TB patients. Over a period of two years, a total of 301 tuberculosis patients were suspected to have HIV/AIDS co-infection, and upon testing, 42 patients were found to be HIV seropositive. Most of the study patients were manual labourers followed by truck drivers. Sexual (heterosexual) route was found to be the major risk factor for HIV/AIDS. The most common symptom in these patients was cough and expectoration, followed by fever and weight loss. Acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear positivity was found in 21.4% patients. On chest skiagram, infiltrative lesions were commonly seen in 61.9% patients. Extra-pulmonary tubercular manifestations were seen in 45.6% of HIV/TB cases.
