Catastrophic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on global tuberculosis response and the global economy

An overview of how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the resources available for tuberculosis control efforts and its effect on individual households leading to a cycle of increased susceptibility, death, and poverty. Poverty is driven by tuberculosis-related and COVID-19-related deterioration in macroeconomic conditions, leading to catastrophic costs at the patient level, and is a proxy for increased mortality and burden of tuberculosis. GDP=gross domestic product. LMICs=low-income and middle-income countries. PPE=personal protective equipment.
