Abstract

Various guidelines are in place for management for COVID-19 and pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in pregnancy. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no significant guidelines for the management of COVID-19 and PTB co-infection in pregnancy. Pregnancy being an altered physiological state, the use of various drugs and their outcomes are altered. Here we present two cases of COVID-19 and PTB co-infection in pregnancy which were managed successfully.

Keywords: COVID-19; COVID-19 and TB co-infection; COVID-19 and TB co-infection in pregnancy; COVID-19 in pregnancy; TB; TB in pregnancy; pregnancy.
