Abstract
In 2020 the world faced new infectious disease which required unprecedented epidemic measures. The pandemic of COVID-19 can affect the spread and courses of other diseases including tuberculosis infection. The analysis of the publications in online databases Medline, PubMed and Scopus was conducted following the description of the accompanying pathologies of the patients suffering from new coronavirus infection from December 2019 to October 2020. 32 articles presenting information about 152,000 COVID-19 patients having accompanying pathology were chosen. More often such pathologies as arterial hypertension (21.2 %), diabetes (12.1 %), chronic lung diseases (4.2 %) and oncology diseases (0.3 %) were found. The combination of COVID-19 and tuberculosis was registered by different authors in 0.3-8.3 % cases, more often in countries with high level of tuberculosis (China and India).
