We 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). This communication describes a dramatic increase in seropositivity and highlights the importance of continued HIV serosurveillance in patients with TB.
