No, there is no connection between the two infections. TB is caused by a bacterium called mycobacteria. The flu is caused by an influenza virus. Flu starts in healthy people when infected with the virus as well as those with underlying medical conditions, or other infections. People with bacterial infections and underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for catching viral infections like the flu, but that is not typically how the flu is started.
