Abstract
Tuberculosis is still a serious public health issue in underdeveloped countries. There is presently little clinical experience with the co-existence of tuberculosis and COVID-19 infection, presented as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection, which was first observed in China in December 2019. This case report details the diagnostic and treatment stages of two patients who had active tuberculosis and COVID-19 infection, as well as the outcomes of their therapies, both of which were effective.
Özet
Tüberküloz, az gelişmiş ülkelerde hala ciddi bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Tüberküloz ve COVID-19 enfeksiyonunun birlikteliği ile ilgili çok az sayıda klinik deneyim mevcuttur. COVID-19 enfeksiyonu ilk kez şiddetli akut solunum sendromu tablosu olarak Çin’de Aralık 2019’da görülmüştür. Bu raporda aktif tüberkülozu ve COVID-19 enfeksiyonu olan iki hastanın tanı ve başarılı olan tedavi aşamaları detaylı olarak sunulmuştur.
