| Abstract: | Background: Worldwide the researchers have been discussing the deleterious effects of covid-19 on TB. But there are only few studies that have evaluated for new onset tuberculosis in patients with covid-19, as during the covid-19 pandemic all resources had been directed towards managing it, there is unavoidable decreased focus towards other diseases and health conditions. Provided the wide prevalence and incidence of tuberculosis worldwide and particularly in India, the present study aims at evaluation of clinical profile of TB patients with history of covid 19. As at present time both diseases possess high mortality and morbidity, particularly among the comorbid patients. Method: The present study was conducted to determine the clinical profile of tb patients with past history of covid-19. Patients with past history of covid-19 were diagnosed with tuberculosis on the basis of history, examination, sputum investigation, radiological investigations and other investigations as needed for diagnosis of TB. Further they were classified as pulmonary or extra pulmonary TB, drug resistant or drug sensitive TB. Also, they were enquired about their covid-19 disease and all records regarding it were assessed so as to classify the covid-19 severity. Patients details regarding their past medical histories were also included. Result: Total 32 patients were enrolled, mean age of study subjects was 39.15±16.52 years, there were 23 male patients (71.87%) and there were 09 female patients (28.12%). In total 20 patients (62.50%) had pulmonary TB and 12 patients (37.50%) had extra pulmonary TB, among the extrapulmonary cases 09 patients (75%) had pleural effusion; 03 patients (25%) had cervical lymphadenopathy. In total 19 patients (59.37%) of the cases had drug sensitive TB, while only 01 patient (3.12%) was found to have drug resistant TB (rifampicin resistant TB), while in 12 patients (37.50%) cases drug sensitivity/resistant status could not be identified. 27 patients (84.37%) had mild Covid, 03 cases (09.37%) had moderate severity and 02 case had severe Covid (06.25%). Conclusion: Patients recovering from COVID-19 infection are very much susceptible to develop a variety of complications including infectious diseases especially TB, particularly among those recovering from severe COVID-19 infection hence it requires a high index of suspicion to early diagnose and treat tuberculosis among patients who have had covid-19 infection. |
