ABSTRACT
This retrospective and descriptive study was a report on the clinical situation of tuberculosis in diabetic patients, with 1,651 patients recruited. The mean age of TBDM patients was significantly higher than that of non-diabetic patients (p<0.05). Moreover, TBDM patients had a higher ratio of male to female than the other group. The significant proportion of TB appeared to increase steadily with age in diabetic patients compared to non-diabetic ones (p<0.05). However, they showed similarities in terms of sex, race, marital status, present address, and occupation. A higher percentage of pulmonary tuberculosis (91.4%) was shown in the TBDM group. We found that both groups had no differences in the radiological findings, with opacity or cavity of the upper lobe involvement being 89% and 91% in TBDM and non-diabetic groups, respectively. TBDM patients were shown to have more treatment success (33.3%), particularly the pulmonary type of tuberculosis in the longer duration ( 9 months). Further findings demonstrated that a lower proportion of the TBDM group defaulted in their treatment (19.8%) and experienced resistance to anti-tubercular therapy (1.4%) compared to non-diabetics.
