 AB    In Madagascar, the estimated incidence of tuberculosis is high (320 per
       100,000) when human immunodeficiency virus (VIH) infection progress
       slowly. The authors have studied HIV seroprevalence in a group of
       tubercular patients and in two reference groups (general population and
       outpatients of the Clinical Biology Centre of Institut Pasteur).
       Circulation of HIV1 virus was observed with a low prevalence rate in all
       the 3 groups. There was no significant difference between tubercular
       patients and healthy population. Tubercular people ought to be a watch
       group for the epidemiological surveillance of HIV infection evolution in
       Madagascar.
