The impact of COVID-19 on TB in Iran: An illustrative study.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions in TB services across the globe. Like many other countries, TB case notifications decreased during the pandemic in Iran. In this paper, we describe two cases of concomitant COVID-19 and TB infection whose diagnosis of pulmonary TB was delayed amid the pandemic. We depict how atypical imaging findings may guide physicians to pulmonary TB diagnosis and discuss strategies to maximize TB case detection.
