Before COVID-19, TB was the main cause of infectious disease deaths worldwide. MTB has infected about one-fourth of the global population. A six-month medication regimen can effectively treat 85% of those who contract TB. The comorbidity between TB and other infectious diseases is very common in TB-endemic regions. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), malaria, toxoplasmosis, sexually transmitted infections, viral hepatitis, giardiasis, leishmaniasis, and pneumonia are a few examples of infectious diseases that can exist concurrently with TB. The impact of co-infections and the management of TB patients who are also infected with HIV, malaria, toxoplasmosis, and hepatitis B will be covered in this article.en© 2022 by the authors.
