It is also noted the correlation of CD4 count with TB manifestations i.e. Pulmonary & ex-tra-pulmonary TB. Methods: Observational study in 70 patients with HIV in SMIMER, SURAT. Investigations were done with all routine with specific CD4 count. The rate analysed according to CD4 count. Results: In HIV patients TB is com-mon. There are two groups, Pulmo-nary and extra-pulmonary. After analysis of data, it is noted that there is a significant correlation with CD4 count. Pulmonary TB cas-es were common with CD4 count 300-500 and extra-pulmonary TB cases were common with CD4 < 300. Lymph-node TB (200-300), TB meningitis (100-200), Disseminated TB (<100) were also common in lower CD4 count. Conclusion: CD4 count is very im-portant to determine type of tuber-culosis in HIV positive patients. Al-so it is very important to determine morbidity& mortality.
