Abstract
Scattered and extra pulmonary tuberculosis patients coinfected with HI V represent in Bujumbura (Burundi) more than 56% of tuberculosis cases . The high prevalence of these forms could be explained partly by the hospital recruitment, therefore by patients already strongly immunocom promised. Performing further examinations as abdominal echography, gan glionic biopsy (or firstly a puncture sucking procedure) permit to rev eal multifocal affections. These examinations provide valuable diagnos tic arguments specially among the negative bacteriological forms.
