Abstract (2. Language): 
Introduction: Among the various opportunistic infections respiratory infections account for upto 70% of AIDS defining illness. Although increasing number of AIDS cases are being reported , spectrum of pathogens in HIV infected is not well known in this part of India .Hence present study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of lower respiratory tract infections in 112 HIV seropositive patients for first time from this region . Methodology : Sputum samples were examined by microscopy and cultured for bacterial, mycobacterial, and fungal pathogens. Result and conclusion
