Millions of people have died due to the infection and several have suffered with what are now known as post COVID-19 squeal. Among these squeals one is immunosuppression which leaves patients prone to severe opportunistic infection. We here report a case of young female who was infected by COVID-19 and later developed cavitary pneumonia which upon investigation turned out to be due to <em>mycobacterium tuberculosis</em>.  Through this report we aim to highlight the importance of high index of suspicion for infection like <em>Mycobacterium</em><em> tuberculosis</em> after COVID-19 infection which developed in a healthy immunocompetent patient.</p> ER -
