Abstract

Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness. But there are few studies that explain the clinical features of COVID-19 patients with active primary tuberculosis. In a low-resource setting, it is difficult to distinguish the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 from other respiratory diseases. Here, we briefly report the first case of COVID-19 with active primary tuberculosis in our low-resource institution.
