Abstract
The short term mortality of co infected patients with AIDS and tuberculosis remains high in developing countries. Howewer, some causes of death such as compressive pneumothorax-pleuritis-pericarditis, metabolic disorder or even associated opportunistic infection i. e. pneumocystosis may be prevented or cured. Consequently, such patients must be carefully monitored and more particulary those with severe anemia and/or hyponatrémie at admission. Similarly appropriate diagnostic algorithms must be used in case of unfavorable evolution particularly to diagnose curable complication.
