Diabetes mellitus (DM) is known to increase the risk of tuberculosis (TB) and adversely affect TB treatment outcomes. A descriptive study was carried out in registered TB patients screened for DM at Lok Nayak Hospital, New Delhi, India. Of 458 TB patients, 66 (14%) had DM. In those with dual disease, age ≥40 years, smear-positive pulmonary TB and recurrent TB were significantly more common. There was no effect of DM on TB treatment outcomes, although there was a trend towards smear non-conversion at 2 months. Screening for DM works well, and certain patient characteristics are more common in those with dual disease.
众所周知,糖尿病(DM)会增加患结核病(TB)的风险,并对结核病治疗结果产生不利影响。在印度新德里的洛克·奈亚克医院,对登记的结核病患者进行了一项关于糖尿病筛查的描述性研究。在458例结核病患者中,66例(14%)患有糖尿病。在患有两种疾病的患者中,年龄≥40岁、痰涂片阳性的肺结核和复发性结核病更为常见。糖尿病对结核病治疗结果没有影响,尽管在2个月时存在痰涂片未转阴的趋势。糖尿病筛查效果良好,某些患者特征在患有两种疾病的患者中更为常见。
