ABSTRACT
A 75-year-old male presented with acute febrile respiratory illness with hypoxia and anorexia of longer duration; computed tomography (CT) of the thorax was suggestive of cavitary lung disease, with sputum smear positive for acid-fast bacilli and also having classical COVID-19 pneumonia patterns in the CT thorax; and COVID-19 rapid antigen test was positive. He was treated for COVID-19 pneumonia and antituberculosis treatment was initiated at the discharge. He was recovered of both conditions, and we have documented the crucial role of chest CT in managing this case in this pandemic period.
