Abstract: Background: HIV is the most prominent risk factor for progression of TB infection to disease causation and there is paucity of studies related to clinico-radiological profile of HIV-TB co-infection, this evoked us to do this study. Material and Methods: The present study is Hospital based cross sectional study done on two hundred HIV/AIDS patients (>15 year of age) attending ART Center of S.M.S. Medical College, Jaipur (Raj.). Results: Dual infection of HIV - TB was found in nearly one third (32.50%) of study individuals, co-infection was slightly more common in males (34.70%) than that of females (26.41%). Weakness was the almost universal (98.46%) symptom and muscle wasting was commonest (80.00%) sign, oral candidiasis was the most common (52.31%) complication. Of all the 65 HIV-TB co-infected patients, pulmonary TB was found in 18 patients (27.69%), extra-pulmonary TB in 27 (41.54%) patients, while 20 (30.76%) patients had both pulmonary & extra-pulmonary TB. upper zone infiltration & cavitatory lesion were seen in 47.37% while atypical features such as mid-lower zone infiltrate & exudative lesion were seen in 73.68% & 68.42%. Sputum smear positivity for AFB was found in 42.11% of pulmonary TB cases with HIV-TB co-infection. Most (90.77%) cases with HIV-TB co-infection had CD-4 count <200/ micro L. Keywords: Extra-Pulmonary Tuberculosis, HIV-Tb co-infection, Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
