ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

HIV/TB coinfection, COVID 19 with HIV/TB, immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), TB lymphadenopathy

Introduction -COVID 19 refers to infectious disease caused due to infection by SARS-CoV-2, which resultedin a pandemic in the year 2020, with continuing effects in some regions of the world. It chieflycauses a respiratory illness, with features ranging from fever and mild cough to breathlessnessand hypoxemia, along with a secondary hyperinflammatory and hypercoagulable state. HIV/TB coinfection is, on its own, associated with a poor outcome, due to an increased propensityto secondary infections.Method & Discussion :Here, we describe the case of an elderly male admitted for COVID 19, but diagnosed ashaving HIV/TB coinfection, with generalised lymphadenopathy and other constitutionalfeatures. Treatment was instituted per protocol. He also developed a treatment-relatedimmune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), which was appropriately managed,and was eventually discharged following recovery from COVID-19. ART and AKT, withprophylactic medications, were ongoing at the time of discharge.Conclusion :– HIV/TB coinfection is associated with a poor prognosis. There are no specificrecommendations for management of superadded COVID-19. The number of reported casesis low, and treatment had been given for the respective disorders as per prevailing localprotocols.
