Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to affect our country as well as all over the world. Although the most common symptoms are fever, dry cough, and fatigue, it is seen that there are very different presentations of the disease as the number of infected patients increases. In this article, we aimed to present a difficult case of genitourinary tuberculosis (TB) who received quadruple antituberculosis treatment and whose liver enzyme elevation was attributed to COVID-19 infection, not drug side effect, and whose liver function tests completely recovered after COVID-19 treatment.
