SARS‐CoV‐2 coinfection in children with severe airway obstruction due to pulmonary tuberculosis
Coinfection with SARS-CoV-2 in children with TB airway obstruction appears to complicate the disease course, necessitating more medical interventions and demonstrating a longer duration of the TB inflammatory process. Further research is needed to understand the impact of viral infections on TB progression and outcomes in pediatric patients.
