Abstract | Background: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) potentially exacerbates drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB). We describe the clinical presentation and outcomes of three patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), DR-TB and COVID-19. Case one: A virologically suppressed 31-year-old man on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and multidrug-resistant (MDR)-TB treatment presented with mild COVID-19 and was hospitalised for 10 days of clinical monitoring, despite being clinically stable with normal baseline inflammatory markers. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus polymerase chain reaction (SARS-CoV-2 PCR) positivity persisted at Day 28. Case two: A virologically suppressed 37-year-old woman on ART and MDR-TB treatment presented with moderate COVID-19. Baseline inflammatory markers were raised, and dexamethasone and azithromycin were initiated with good clinical improvement. SARS-CoV-2 PCR positivity persisted at Day 28. Case three: A viraemic 24-year-old woman on second-line ART and MDR-TB treatment, presented with mild COVID-19 disease, normal oxygenation and normal inflammatory markers, and remained clinically stable with negative SARS-CoV-2 PCR at Days 14 and 28. Conclusion: Screening for SARS-CoV-2 infection is advised for DR-TB patients with new or worsening respiratory symptoms. |
