Tuberculosis patients are in immunocompramised status, this makes the fungal infections to occur in early stage. In the present study we focus the attention on opportunistic fungal pathogens that are present in pulmonary tuberculosis, which may help in correcting the diagnosis.All the sputum specimens were subjected potassium hydroxide (KOH) preparation and Gram stain. Mycological culture was done on Sabourauds dextrose agar. Briefly, purulent portion of the sample was inoculated onto the media and incubated at 30°.Among the 152 sputum samples that were analyzed fungal elements were seen in 24/152 (15.7%), yeast cell with pseudohypae 28/152 (18.4%). Pulmonary fungal pathogens isolated in TB patients were Candida albicans 25/152 (16.4%), Candida guilliermondii 1/152 (1.52%) and Candida tropicalis 2/152 (3%), Aspergillus niger 14/152 (9%), A.fumigatus 10/152 (6%), A. flavus 6/152 (3.9%).
