 AB    Records of patients with concomitant HIV infection and human
       tuberculosis were analysed. Nine out of 232 AIDS patients (4%) developed
       human tuberculosis with a preponderance (6/9) of immigrants from
       sub-Saharan Africa. In three patients the diagnosis was delayed because
       of atypical manifestations of the disease and lack of typical chest
       X-ray findings. Tuberculin skin tests were positive in only three
       patients, and became negative in one patient who developed two episodes
       of tuberculosis. All the patients who complied with the conventional
       triple anti-tuberculosis regimen responded well, and no
       multidrug-resistant tuberculosis was observed.
