Abstract
The main theme of the following manuscript is aspects related to the co-infection of tuberculosis and COVID-19. The aim of this research is to highlight the characteristics of the observed outcomes and health measures in cases of co-infection by tuberculosis and COVID-19. An integrative literature review was conducted from July to November 2023, using PubMed databases via MEDLINE, the CAPES journal portal with CAFe access and the VHL data source. The descriptors were validated by DeCS/MeSH: "COVID-19", "Tuberculosis" and "Incidence", associated by the Boolean operator "AND". The research sample included a total of 44 articles, 12 of which were carefully selected after analyzing the abstracts and reading them in full. The extraordinary demand for health care caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating repercussions on medical care programs, particularly in outpatient TB screening and detection. Before the advent of COVID-19, India already boasted the highest incidence of TB cases globally, with approximately 2.95 million new cases annually. Due to the drastic reductions in TB screening capacities during a pandemic, there has been a notable drop in global TB case notifications, with India contributing significantly to this decline, accounting for around 41% of the total in 2020.
