Popis:	Aim: To study the clinical profile of tuberculosis in HIV infected patients and to compare the different clinical data with their CD4 counts with reference to oral health. Material Methods: Total 100 cases attending Department of Medicine /ART center at RIMS Ranchi were selected and their clinical profile was studied. The variations in clinical presentation with changing CD4 cell count were evaluated. Results: Most common presenting symptoms were fever (78%) cough (75%) and breathlessness (62%). Most common associated clinical oral findings were oral candidiasis (34%) and lymphadenopathy (33%). Among extra pulmonary tuberculosis lymphadenitis was the most common presentation (18%). Mean CD4 counts in patients with sputum positive TB was 226.71±52.895 and in sputum negative TB was 108.49±74.684 and in extra pulmonary tuberculosis was 138± 52.895. 85.7%. Sputum positive cases were seen with CD4 counts
