This article aims to report a case of TB and HIV co-infection and its management. Case illustration: A twenty-eight-year-old male came with chief complaint shortness of breath. The patient also had a history of fever, cough, night sweats, weight loss, and malaise for one month. Laboratory examinations revealed leukocytosis, reactive anti-HIV immunoserology, gene Xpert MTB/RIF assay detected Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the specimen and showed no rifampicin (RIF) resistance. The chest x-ray obtained was active lung TB with secondary infection. The patient was diagnosed with active pulmonary TB and HIV. This patient was treated with Anti-tuberculosis drug 1st category. Discussion: Most common manifestation of TB-HIV co-infections are fever, weight loss, and cough Physical examination sometimes do not show signs that are specific to TB patients.
