 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.
