摘要

Background: Planning for control of tuberculosis would need to screen and identifyindividuals susceptible to TB. Due to the weakness of immune system in diabetic patients, it ismore likely for them to reactivate latent TB infection. Regarding the increasing number of diabeticsin the community, in this study efforts have been made to estimate the frequency of individualswho have tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus (TB-DM) simultaneously, as it could help makingpreventive decisions to reduce TB in this part of Iran.Materials and Methods: In this study, 329 cases of confirmed TB patients were divided into twogroups of diabetic and non-diabetic, then demographic information and clinical variables havebeen compared between the two groups.Results: Among the examined subjects, 47 patients (14.29 %) had suffered from diabetes mellitusand tuberculosis. All of the DM patients had pulmonary tuberculosis and 87.23% of them wereover the age of 50.Conclusion: Majority of DM-TB patients were over 50 years of age and also more than half ofthem were women. So it seems that for DM women over the age of 50, to detect tuberculosis,screening tests such as PPD may be necessary.
