Abstract :
Background: This study was done to determine the concomitant burden of diabetes and tuberculosis among persons receiving TB care in our hospital. Methods: The patients who are known diabetics or who are diagnosed to have type 2 diabetes mellitus at the time of presentation are taken as cases. Patients without diabetes are considered as controls. Results: Upper zone involvement is most commonly seen in the study and control groups. Lower zone involvement was more pronounced in diabetics than non–diabetics. However, the status of glycemic control has no influence on lower zone involvement. Conclusion: There are no significant differences in the presentation of the disease between diabetics and non–diabetics. But the extent of the disease is more among diabetics with tuberculosis in comparison to their non–diabetic counterparts. The bacillary load in diabetics is also more in comparison to non–diabetic tuberculosis cases.
