| The ongoing pandemic of novel coronavirus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus - 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has received worldwide attention by becoming a major global health threat. We encountered one case of SARS-CoV-2 and pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) coinfection which has not been frequently reported. A 76 year old female presented with acute respiratory symptoms superimposed on chronic symptoms, suggestive to have pneumonia. Oropharyngeal throat swab sample for SARS-CoV-2 infection was positive as detected by real-time reverse-transcriptase–polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR) assay. Sputum smear staining was positive for acid fast bacilli. Clinicians should suspect coinfection with pulmonary TB while treating Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during ongoing pandemic as therapeutic strategies need to be determined accordingly to improve outcome and prevent transmission in community. | |
