The COVID-19 pandemic has strained the healthcare system worldwide, leading to an approach favoring judicious resource allocation.

We present six cases of COVID-19 with newly diagnosed cavitating pulmonary tuberculosis to highlight the significance of this phenomenon and favorable outcomes if recognized early. |
