 AB    A study was conducted between February and June 1994 on the influence of
       urbanisation on the seroprevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
       amongst tuberculosis (TB) and leprosy patients in the 4 Primary Health
       Care Zones in Nigeria. Results indicate that 71.4% of all smear positive
       TB patients and 75% of all multibacillary (MB) leprosy patients that are
       HIV seropositive in this study are resident in the urban areas. This
       study emphasizes the need for careful sample selection in studies
       involving HIV and tuberculosis/leprosy, and for careful monitoring of
       the HIV/leprosy interactions.
