Background: Nearly all countries around the world have
felt the great impact of COVID-19, resulting in a global
health crisis. The KNCV TB foundation Nigeria-funded
by USAID for comprehensive TB care leveraged on existing
structure and resources to partner with Kaduna state
government to roll out an integrated COVID-19 and TB
case-finding intervention. This was implemented using a
mobile diagnostic van equipped with GeneXpert and digital
X-ray from June to July 2020 in Kaduna State. The community-
based strategy also integrated screening for HIV,
HBsAg, and Malaria. Screening algorithm, recording tools
and SOPs were developed that guided the intervention.
Of 1,931 persons enrolled and 1,928 (99.8%) screened using
CAD4TB x-ray, 83 presumptive TB were identified; 11
(13%) cases of TB diagnosed with GeneXpert. Among persons
screened, 1,252 nasopharyngeal swabs were collected
and tested with SARS COV-2, and all screened for HIV with
183 (15%) COVID-19 and 12 (1.0%) HIV cases diagnosed.
COVID-19/HIV co-infection rate was 0.5% and COVID
TB co-infection rate was 0%.. The integrated approach to
COVID-19 testing was built on existing TB structure and
successfully implemented through a multi-stakeholder collaboration
backed by a strong political commitment at the
sub-national level. Key lessons from this early intervention
are informing scale-up across other states in Nigeria. https://mp3download.link Best YouTube to MP3 converter.
