Sharp increase in TB cases and deaths expected due to Covid-19
People living with tuberculosis (TB) are more vulnerable to severe Covid-19, and national lockdowns have taken a heavy toll on TB programmes.
According to new estimates published in the European Respiratory Journal, the pandemic could cause a significant spike in the global burden of TB, as a result of the disruption of health services and delays in diagnosis and treatment.
The research was carried out by academics from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and Lancaster University who indicated that before the pandemic over 4 000 people were dying from TB daily.
Countries, where health services are already strained, may, however, face an increase in TB cases. They further mentioned three countries that can expect this kind of increase over the next five years: South Africa, China, and India. News 24
