I have tuberculosis am I more likely to get a lung infection caused by candida?
No

Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection that
individuals with a normal immune system can catch from anyone coughing
the bacteria into the air. Candida lung infection is a fungal infection
that happens more often when the immune system is suppressed by a
disease or a medication. If you have TB because of immune suppression
then it is possible to get a candida infection but it is rare in any
case.
