Abstract
Here the authors describe outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection in an African setting of high HIV-1 and tuberculosis prevalence. They find that tuberculosis is a common co-morbidity in patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 and that the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 is adversely affected by co-existent HIV-1 and tuberculosis.
