As the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic spreads, there is a concern regarding its clinical and epidemiological implications of bacterial, fungal and viral coinfections in patients with COVID-19 [1]. Particularly, the coinfection of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in patients with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection remains a matter of concern, and the results and clinical course have not been thoroughly studied. Here, we present one case of triple coinfection (HIV/MTB/SARS-CoV-2) in a patient from Northeastern Colombia.
