Several prominent strategies have been adopted to control this contagious infection, but the incidence rate remains high. Many studies have linked fungal infections to TB, apparently elevating concerns in the TB elimination program. Hence, it is essential to understand the mechanisms underlying TB co-infection and pulmonary mycoses to combat the problems caused by these diseases successfully.
