[1] and Stochino et al. [2] which described recent cohorts of either current or former TB patients with COVID-19 and studied their clinical course. India has the majority of global burden of tuberculosis (TB) along with highest rising number of daily COVID-19 cases in the world [3, 4]. Though the information about COVID-19 and active/former TB co-infection reported so far is sparse but it can be assumed that person with TB, when co-infected with COVID-19 may be at more risk of poor outcomes [1, 5]. The present study describes the first-ever cohort of current or treated TB patients co-infected with COVID-19 from a high TB burden country, recruited by a tertiary care hospital in India.Both tuberculosis and COVID-19 being communicable and prevalent diseases in India, the co-existence can lead to worse outcomes, as seen in our study where there was high mortality among active as well as treated TB patients with COVID-19 co-infection.
