Tuberculosis continues to be a major public health problem. Although efforts to control the epidemic have reduced mortality and incidence, there are several predisposing factors that should be modified in order to reduce the burden of the disease. This review article will address some of the risk factors associated with tuberculosis infection and active tuberculosis, including diabetes, smoking, alcohol use, and the use of other drugs, all of which can also contribute to poor tuberculosis treatment results. Tuberculosis can also lead to complications in the course and management of other diseases, such as diabetes. It is therefore important to identify these comorbidities in tuberculosis patients in order to ensure adequate management of both conditions.
结核病仍然是一个重大的公共卫生问题。尽管控制这一流行病的努力已降低了死亡率和发病率,但仍有几个易感因素需要加以改变,以减轻疾病负担。这篇综述文章将探讨一些与结核感染和活动性结核病相关的危险因素,包括糖尿病、吸烟、饮酒以及使用其他药物,所有这些因素也都可能导致结核病治疗效果不佳。结核病还可能在其他疾病(如糖尿病)的病程和管理过程中引发并发症。因此,识别结核病患者中的这些合并症对于确保两种疾病都得到充分管理非常重要。
