Abstract (2. Language): 
Introduction: The importance of Extra-pulmonary Tuberculosis (EPTB) among all forms of Tuberculosis has not yet been ascertained in developing countries due to difficulty in diagnosis and lack of culture facilities. The incidence of Extra-Pulmonary Tuberculosis is increasing with the advent of the HIV epidemic. Material & Methods: All clinical samples from suspected EPTB were processed by conventional diagnostic methods. Blood sample from these patients collected and subjected for HIV testing. Results & Conclusions: The incidence of EPTB among HIV positive patients was detected to be 47.5%. As compared to these patients not infected with HIV showed an incidence of 35.86%. Predominate mycobacterial isolate was MTB i.e. 72, 91.13%. The commonest site of occurrence of EPTB was abscess 40% and 11.51% respectively in HIV positive & negative patients.
