“…The reason behind why COVID-19 disproportionally affects COPD patients is uncertain. It may be partly due to the majority of COPD patients having one or more comorbidities [4]. In addition, the chronic nature of COPD, the severity of lung function impairment, and concomitant low-grade inflammation may compromise immune mechanisms and predispose to acquiring acute respiratory infections.…”

“…Post-traumatic disorder among TB patients was 29.6% in South Africa (Peltzer et al, 2013). Mental illnesses are also a cause of poor quality of life, TB treatment interruption, and poor treatment outcomes (Ambaw et al, 2018;Pachi et al, 2013;Sikjaer et al, 2018;Theron et al, 2015).…”

Objectives: Tuberculosis (TB) and mental illness share underlying factors such as poverty, malnutrition, and stress. This study's objective was to determine the prevalence of TB among mentally ill patients in Afghanistan. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in five public and one private health facility. All patients in those centers were screened for TB, and the diagnosis of TB was made with GeneXpert or made clinically by a physician. Results: Out of 8598 patients registered, 8324 (96.8%) were reached and 8073 (93.9%) were screened for TB, of whom 1703 (21.1%) were found to be presumptive TB patients. A total of 275 (16.7%) were diagnosed with all forms of TB, of whom 90.5% were women. Eighty-eight (32%) of them were bacteriologically confirmed and 187 (68%) were clinically diagnosed. The number needed to screen (NNS) was 29.3 and the number needed to test (NNT) was 6.1. The overall prevalence of TB among mentally ill patients was 3,567/100,000-20 times higher than the national incidence rate. TB was independently associated with married and widowed adults, young adults, females, and oral sleep drug users. Conclusions: TB among mentally ill patients is very high, and we recommend that TB care and prevention services be integrated into mental health centers.

“…WHO (World Health Organization) also ranked the COPD as the third leading cause of death in COVID 19 patients due to compromised immune response and disease progress to dyspnea, hypoxia, dry cough, excessive fatigue, and sputum production. [45][46][47][48] Lue et al 2020, concluded that COVID-19 patients with specific features like COPD, smoking and HTN, rather than cancer-specific features, are the greatest determinants of severity. 49 A large case series from many countries showed that pre-existing COPD worsens the risk of COVID-19 progression and leads to poorer prognostics.…”

: Cases of COVID 19 is a challenge for clinicians to evaluate the effect of SARS CoV2 on patients has preexisting medical illness. To assess the potential effect and incidence of COVID 19 with comorbidity. 680 COVID-19 positive cases were included. This research was limited to the admitted patients from October 2020 to February 2021. Applicable data were collected from patient’s files, reviewed and included based on the applicability to the topic. As of October, 2020, our institute had 954 suspected cases of COVID-19 infection. Out of these 680 patients were positive and rests were negative. We obtained data from the hospital records which provided information regarding the age, gender, chief complaints, co-morbidity and its type, positive /negative status and outcomes (Recovered/death). We divided the patients into three groups; (1) had no co-morbidity; (2) had one co-morbidity (3) had two or more co-morbidity and compared their outcomes (Recovery/Death/admitted). We also compared the outcomes of patients those had more than two co-morbidities. clinical data and co-morbidities were examined with SPSS Statistics, Version 23. Most patients were male (76.21%) with commonest complain of difficulty in breathing (46.03%). Among total cases, no co-morbidity was noted in 402 (59.11%) patients, one co-morbidity in 205(30.15%) and more than one co-morbidity in 73 (10.74%) patients. Higher death rate was noted in positive patients with two or more co-morbidities (35.62%). Diabetes and hypertension were the common observed illness with higher death rate in COPD and HTN with CAD (75.00%) patients. Result of this study suggests a strong clinical relationship between COVID-19 and co-morbidities. Patients with pre-existing medical sickness with COVID 19 is a challenge to the physicians as it yielded poorer clinical outcomes. So, the physicians need to be prepared to reorganize their consultative practices during this pandemic period.
