Diagnostics and management of tuberculosis and COVID-19 in a patient with pneumothorax (clinical case)

Starshinova, A.Almazov National Medical Research Centre, Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation (author)

The spread of COVID-19 in countries with high and medium incidence of tuberculosis has led to an increased risk of COVID-19 and tuberculosis co-infection, introducing new diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for the clinician. Hereby we describe a first case where tuberculosis and COVID-19 were diagnosed concomitantly in a Russian patient with pneumothorax. We discuss the challenges associated with the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis during the COVID-19 pandemic.
