“…The most common age group of HIV TB co-infection was >40 year 103(35.64%). Our finding were similar to Siddeswari et al, (2016) in which there were 37.50% cases, whereas Mihir Bhattacharya et al, (2011) reported slightly higher number of cases in which there were 45% cases affected in the same age group. This may be due to the fact, that, as the age progresses the immunity decreases (Mihir et al, 2011;Siddeswari et al, 2016).…”

“…This may be because of the reason that the male has to migrate for occupation and stay away from spouse for a longer period. Yasmin et al, (2016) and Siddeswari et al, (2016), in which there were 60.38%&60% cases respectively, as there is decrease in CD4 cell count there is increase in opportunistic infections. In our study, age group had a significant association.…”

“…12 The mean age of presentation was equivalent to the findings made by Aghor Ako et al 12 The age of presentation of EPTB was less when compared to PTB in our study though there is no demarcated difference. The most commonly affected age group was 18 -45 years in both PTB and EPTB which was similar to the outcomes seen by Nara et al and Siddeshwari et al [9][10][11][12][13] Usually age > 35 years, cough > 2 weeks duration, night sweats, severe wasting, presence of pleural effusion, positive HIV status and anemia were considered as the predictors of TB. In concern to the gender wise distribution majority of the males were affected with PTB and females were affected with EPTB which was in co-relation with the observations of Aghor AKO et al 12 and the mean age was less in females when compared to males for both PTB and EPTB.…”

Aim:To study the presentation of HIV-TB co-infection, co-relating the mean CD4 counts with regard to age and gender of the affected individuals. Methodology: A cross-sectional study on a total of 334 HIV positive patients diagnosed with tuberculosis was performed and individuals with age more than or equal to 18 years were selected. The data available from patient case records was collected in Performa's. Results: In this study, Pulmonary TB was observed in 67.66% and extra pulmonary TB was observed in 32.33% of the individuals with the age group of 18-45 years of age being commonly affected in both Pulmonary and Extra pulmonary TB (85.02%). The mean age at the time of diagnosis was more in pulmonary TB (33.35 years) than in extra pulmonary TB (35.84 years). Males were commonly affected in pulmonary TB (57.96%) whereas females were mostly affected in extra pulmonary TB (56.48%). The mean CD4 counts in pulmonary TB were less (205.66 cells/ mm 3 ) than extra pulmonary TB (237.65 cells/mm 3 ) at the time of diagnosis. The mean CD4 counts and age at the time of presentation was less in female (204 cells/mm 3 , 30.97 years) than males in pulmonary TB which was similar to that in extra pulmonary TB in which females had a mean CD4 count of 201.08 cells/mm 3 with 36.50 years as mean age. Conclusion: TB still predominates the spectrum of opportunistic infections experienced by the HIV positive individuals manifesting as either pulmonary or extra pulmonary TB. So, special emphasis should be laid in the effective implementation of preventive strategies.

Background: In India, Tuberculosis (TB) is endemic and Human immunodefi ciency virus (HIV) infection is epidemic in few states. The risk of developing TB in people living with HIV (PLHIV) is about 19 (27-22) times greater than those without it. TB is major cause of death in HIV-TB co-infected patients. Globally 0.4 million deaths occur annually due to HIV-TB disease.Material & Methods:The present observational study was conducted at Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital ART (Antiretroviral therapy) center during period from January to June 2017. Data of HIV-TB co-infected patients was collected from HIV-TB register and entered into Microsoft Excel sheet for analysis using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences.Results:Young persons mostly from the labouring class working in other states were most affected. Pulmonary tuberculosis (sputum smear positive) was most common co-infection. Baseline CD4 cell count at the time of presentation was observed to be low (less than 200 cells/μL) in 46.64℅ HIV-TB co-infected patients.Conclusion: Rural young people working as migrant labourer need focus of health interventions. They should be educated and screened for HIV and TB. Baseline CD4 cell count should be done in all PLHIV cases to assess their immune status.SAARC Journal of Tuberculosis, Lung Diseases and HIV/AIDS, Vol. 14, No. 2, 2017, Page: 12-17
