Infections with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis account for 25 million patients worldwide. Tuberculosis is the most common opportunistic infectious disease in HIV-infected subjects, and HIV infection is a high-risk factor for tuberculosis. The convergence of HIV and tuberculosis is a disaster practically unequalled in medical history. This is a rare case report on the topic of pulmonary miliary tuberculosis and intestinal tuberculosis with AIDS.
