To determine the prevalence rate of HIV and diabetes among tuberculosis (TB) patients and also the comorbidity rate. Design. Cross-sectional study. Setting. This study was carried out at the Tuberculosis Reference Laboratory, Regional Hospital Bamenda, North West Region of Cameroon, from January 2017 to December 2019. Participants. 1115 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis aged \u226514\u2009years (mean 42.5\u2009\u00b1\u200915.28\u2009years). Methods. Sputum samples collected were acid-fast stained and examined macroscopically as well as inoculated for culture. A chest X-ray was performed for further confirmation of TB diagnosis. After the TB diagnosis was done, fasting blood glucose, 2\u2009h-PG test, HbA1c, and biochemical enzymatic tests were performed for the diagnosis of diabetes. Rapid strip test and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were used to diagnose HIV infection. Interventions. No intervention was done during the period of study. Outcome Measures. The prevalence of TB\/HIV and TB\/HIV\/DM, signs and symptoms, imaging results, and bacteriology status among TB\/HIV, TB\/HIV\/DM coinfected, and comorbidity cases. Results. Of 1115 participants, 38.57% had TB\/HIV, and 5.83% had TB\/HIV\/DM. Among TB\/HIV\/DM cases, 20.39% had a cough for more than 2\u2009weeks [<jats:inline-formula>\n                     <a:math xmlns:a=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\">\n                        <a:mi>p<\/a:mi>\n                        <a:mtext>\u2009<\/a:mtext>\n                        <a:mo>&lt;<\/a:mo>\n                        <a:mtext>\u2009<\/a:mtext>\n                        <a:mn>0.0001<\/a:mn>\n                     <\/a:math>\n                  <\/jats:inline-formula>; OR (95%CI): 4.866 (3.170\u20137.404)], and 35.71% had a fever for at least 2\u2009weeks [<jats:inline-formula>\n                     <c:math xmlns:c=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M2\">\n                        <c:mi>p<\/c:mi>\n                        <c:mtext>\u2009<\/c:mtext>\n                        <c:mo>&lt;<\/c:mo>\n                        <c:mtext>\u2009<\/c:mtext>\n                        <c:mn>0.0001<\/c:mn>\n                     <\/c:math>\n                  <\/jats:inline-formula>; OR (95%CI): 7.824 (5.336\u201311.36)].
