AB To determine the seroprevalence of infection with the human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in pulmonary tuberculosis patients, we
conducted an HIV serosurvey in 162 inpatients with pulmonary
tuberculosis, in Yaounde Cameroon. HIV seroprevalence in hospitalized
pulmonary tuberculosis patients was found to be 9.9% as compared to the
seroprevalence rate of 2.2% for Yaounde, the area from which the
patients we studied came. No differences were observed in the clinical,
radiological and bacteriological features between HIV seropositive and
seronegative patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.
