“…Diseases like COVID-19, pulmonary TB, and dengue have overlapping pathogenesis, clinical features, and lab results which are widely available in literature [5,7,8]. Prompt diagnosis and management of cases with these infections require a high degree of suspicion and lab investigations [5]. The delay could have lifethreatening consequences for the patients [7].…”

“…Isolated reports of TB with COVID-19 are available in the literature mostly as case reports [5]. These cases have been reported not only in drug-sensitive TB but drug resistant-TB as well [5]. Data regarding the association between TB and COVID-19 is lacking but from the available reports, and till the reports of large scale studies are available, it could be presumed that both these infections could occur simultaneously and immediate management is essential.…”

The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 has resulted in extensive morbidity and mortality. Not only the viral pandemic has affected almost every single person on this planet directly or indirectly but it has resulted in reporting of several cases with rare presentations of common diseases. The present case is a rare presentation wherein COVID-19 with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), severe dengue, and venous thromboembolism was diagnosed in an Indian male. This case is crucial as no such case has ever been reported in the literature. Also, during the pandemic other diseases received relatively less attention. Therefore, establishing the diagnosis in a situation where the health systems were oversaturated was a difficult task, and thus present case would be an important addition to the literature. Further, diseases like COVID-19, TB, and dengue share many similarities like pathogenesis, clinical features, and lab results, therefore, this case would help the clinicians, especially in settings where these diseases are common.

“…Extrapulmonary TB constitutes about 10-15% of all TB cases [3]. The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has impacted the care of other diseases [4]. There was a steep rise in the total notifications of TB cases after the third wave of COVID-19.…”

Tuberculosis (TB) is a public health issue and is one of the main contributors to morbidity and mortality. The disease is very common in endemic areas. TB mainly occurs in the lungs; however, it can spread to other organs and the same is widely reported. Cancellous bone TB like that in the iliac bone is a rare finding even in endemic areas. The pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has resulted in the delayed reporting of many cases. The present report is of a unique case of primary iliac bone TB in an Indian female who presented with painful swelling in her left thigh for three months. A detailed clinical work-up was done to establish the diagnosis. The delay was due to COVID-19 lockdowns and management was initiated after three months. This case highlights the importance of a high degree of suspicion to diagnose TB in rare extrapulmonary sites like the iliac bone.
