AB OBJECTIVE: It is well known that HIV infection in cases of tuberculosis
is gradually rising in Tropical Countries. The objective of this study
is to analyse the reported cases from India whether this incidence is
shared equally or not in different parts of this country. METHODS: From
the documented and published cases from India so far made by different
workers in this field the data have been analysed dividing India into
four geographical zones namely Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western.
RESULTS: The incidence of HIV infection has been observed to vary
considerably. In Western part it is maximum (5.6%), next in order is
Southern part (2.3%). The incidence is at its lowest (< 1%) in Northern
and Eastern parts of India. DISCUSSION: Increased incidence of HIV
infection in tuberculosis patients varies considerably in different
geographical zones of India. However in all the areas the incidence of
HIV infection in cases of tuberculosis is almost double (2.19%) in
comparison to its incidence in general population. Further study is
required to probe deeply into its cause if any.
