 AB    This study has been planned in order to determinate the frequency of the
       infection by VIH among the 394 new tuberculous, for a period extended
       from July 1990 to July 1991 at the section of pneumophtisiology in the
       National Hospital of Niamey. The number of seropositives is 7.6%. The
       two types of viruses, i.e. VIH1 and VIH2, and the double infection by
       VIH1 + VIH2 types exist in the tuberculous patients. The VIH1 is most
       frequently found in the subjects of age group 20-39 years, who are
       almost emigrants. Inspite of the actual weak sero-prevalency among the
       tuberculous patients, the authors claim that a sero-epidemiological
       sequential survey of tuberculosis in Niamey can be a relatively easy
       method for measuring the variations of sero-prevalency of AIDS in Niger.
