 AB    The clinico-radiological profile of 20 patients with tuberculosis and
       other respiratory diseases infected with HIV-1 is presented in this
       preliminary communication. Twelve patients had proven and 4 had
       suspected tuberculosis. Two patients were diagnosed as having
       interstitial pneumonitis on limited autopsy. Five patients fulfilled the
       CDC's new AIDS definition criteria. Though our experience is limited,
       yet, in the present series, the patients with tuberculosis showed
       typical extensive upper zone infiltrative lesions. Patients with
       tuberculosis (pulmonary and extrapulmonary, excluding disseminated
       disease) showed improvement on short course regimens of
       anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy, without any toxic effects.
