Abstract
Diseases caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) among adult patients with hematological malignancies (HM) are rarely investigated, however, some studies recently have found them commonly, especially in East Asia and the Middle East.[12345] There is a lack of studies about TB incidence among patients with HM in many countries in Latin America,[6] despite the high prevalence of TB in this region. The objective of this preliminary report was to assess the occurrence of TB in HM patients from the main hospital in the department of Santander, Colombia, between 2015 and 2019.
