Increasing HIV seropositivity among adult tuberculosis patients in Delhi. Indian Journal of Medical Research. 2003 Jun; 117(): 239-42http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/23024We report the HIV seropositivity among adult TB patients from our hospital, a tertiary care hospital in north India between 2000-2002. Of the 555 patients with various forms of tuberculosis, 52 were found to be seropositive (9.4%). In 1994-1999, the HIV seropositivity in this hospital was only 0.4 per cent (2 of 500 patients).
