Tuberculosis is one of the infectious diseases, and the problem of its spread continues to be relevant throughout the World. The effect of the SARS-CoV-2 virus can cause certain difficulties in the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis infection. The possibility of concomitant these infectious diseases can affect the clinical course of tuberculosis, an influence on mortality of the disease, but at the same time, there is a decrease in the number of cases that is not objective.
