Abstract
The sole aim of this study is to monitor the level of correlation between GOPD and STC Patients whose samples (sera and sputa) were tested and confirmed with Western Blot, for HIV-1 and Ziehl Nielsen, Z N Stain/ Lowenstein Jensen, L J slope culture for Sputa respectively. These samples were screened for HIV- 1 using three test principles- Determine, Capillus and Genie. Positive samples were confirmed with the Western Blot assay. Sputa samples of the same patients were collected and tested for Mycobacterium spp. infection using the Ziehl Nielsen staining technique and the Lowenstein Jensen Slope cultural technique. The Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was 0.466 (P<0.1) showing a relatively high level of concordance between Western Blot confirmed positive HIV-1 infection and Mycobacterium spp. infection in the same patients.
