Abstract
With current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, patients with respiratory symptoms are diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 more readily, but we may oversee some prevalent infective diseases that may co-exist. We report a case of SARS-CoV-2/tuberculosis co-infection and the importance of considering tuberculosis amidst SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
