    <abstract language="eng">This study was conducted to evaluate Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Human
Immunodeficiency virus infections among individuals aged 15 years and above attending outpatient
clinic in three hospitals in Abeokuta metropolis in Southwestern Nigeria. Of 150 sputum and blood
samples examined, the overall prevalence of M. tuberculosis and Human Immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) infections was 14.0% and 14.7% respectively. There was no significant difference between
sex and M. tuberculosis (P = 0.706) and HIV (P = 0.558). Also there was no significance difference
between age group and M. tuberculosis (P = 0.994) and HIV (P = 0.140). However, M. tuberculosis
and HIV infections were significantly high among the patients with anaemia (P &lt; 0.0001). Of the
M. tuberculosis and HIV infection patients, all had significantly elevated erythrocyte sedimentation
rate (&gt; 51 mm/hr) (P &lt; 0.0001).</abstract>
