Tuberculosis is one of the leading cause of mortality and morbidity especially in developing countries. Being one of the oldest disease known to humans, it has constantly been a challenge to medical science be it in terms of treatment or drug resistance.  Recently there has been lots of improvement concerning treatment of tuberculosis, but once a person is cured it doesn't end there. Due to anatomical and functional lesions in lung, the person is more prone to develop infections especially bacterial and fungal. Hence, microbiological cure is not the end but just the beginning of treatment. With this background, the current study was taken up to identify the most common organisms causing post pulmonary tuberculosis infections and also their antibiotic susceptibility profile.
