Prevalence of COVID-19 infection in TB clinics in Kampala, Uganda. The international journal of tuberculosis and lung disease: the official journal of the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, 27(6), 481-483.1815-7920https://dir.muni.ac.ug/handle/20.500.12260/731The paper investigates the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection among patients attending TB clinics in Kampala, Uganda, during a peak COVID-19 wave in 2021. It highlights a significant drop in TB clinic attendance due to the pandemic. A cross-sectional study of 342 participants found a 9.7% prevalence of current SARS-CoV-2 infection and an alarming 87.6% seroprevalence, indicating past exposure. HIV status was linked to positive PCR results. The authors emphasize the need for improved diagnostics and simultaneous evaluation for TB and COVID-19 to enhance patient care and infection control during respiratory outbreaks.enCOVID-19Tuberculosis (TB)PrevalenceSARS-CoV-2CoinfectionArticle
