We read with interest the two articles by Tadolini et al. [1] and Stochino et al. [2], which described recent cohorts of either current or former tuberculosis (TB) patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and studied their clinical course. India has the majority of global burden of TB, along with highest rising number of daily COVID-19 cases in the world [3, 4]. 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.
