There are limited publications about the Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) clinic developing in the patients with active tuberculosis (TB). In this study, it was aimed to determine some clinical features of patients diagnosed with TB who also had COVID-19. In this retrospective cross-sectional study, 71 patients with COVID-19 were evaluated out of a total of 595 patients diagnosed with TB in our province between 2015 and 2021. After contracting COVID-19, a total of nine (12.6%) TB patients were hospitalized, five (7%) patients were admitted to the intensive care unit, three (4.2%) were intubated, and one (1.4%) died due to severe COVID-19. The frequency of such health problems was found to be higher than the normal population living in the same province. None of these complications were observed in a total of 40 female TB patients, and the hospital and intensive care unit admission rates for men were significantly higher than for women. The results of this study showed that men with active TB had more health problems due to COVID-19 than the normal population. Comprehensive studies are needed to detail the resilience of female TB patients against COVID-19. |
