Background: Tuberculosis (TB), major public health problem in most of the developing countries. There is significant difference laboratory profile tuberculosis human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV) infected compared to immunocompetent host. Prompt diagnosis and treatment HIV will improve morbidity mortality associated with dual infection.

Most manifestation extrapulmonary TB (54%). meningitis extra pulmonary involvement seen 28.67%. Amongst patients TB, 6.3% cases were smear for AFB bacilli, 58% had infiltrates on chest X-ray. In all (EPTB) CD4T cell counts <200 cells/μl.Conclusions: Chest X-rays atypical more lowerzone infiltrative lesions. Sputum acid-fast bacillus (AFB) negative however sputum cartridge based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT) status, hence CBNAAT remains gold standard investigation. Fluid analysis ADA correlation holds good tubercular pleural effusion.
