The study involved 144 newly diagnosed sputum smear positive tuberculosis cases with 432 age, sex and neighbourhood-matched controls, and 132 diagnosed leprosy cases with 384 matched controls. Odds ratios obtained by conditional logistic regression (matched) analysis were 4.9 (95% CI 2.6, 6.8), and 1.8 (95% CI 0.9, 3.2), for the association between HIV-1 and tuberculosis and leprosy respectively. Approximately 31% of tuberculosis cases among males, and 11% of cases among females, were attributable to HIV infection.</p>  a0962-8479
