As a result of the analysis of bibliographic sources, important information was elucidated regarding the clinical manifestations and management of patients with tuberculosis associated with COVID-19 infection. The similarity of the clinical manifestations of these two diseases was confirmed along with the importance of investigations by the presence of “ground glass” opacities for the diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. The increased mortality among patients suffering from co-infection TB/COVID-19 was argued by the presence of cardiovascular and endocrine comorbidities.
